Corral Riding Academy
So, I'm trying not to beat myself up about this.On the negative side: I didn't actually donate during the month of February.
On the positive side: I learned about AmazonSmile, and have now set it up so that this organization will be getting small donations* every time I buy something on Amazon.com (I plan to buy a composter this month so voila! I will have accomplished the goal of donating to them, even though I'll be a bit later than January. Lol)
Some cool things about Corral:
- They are a non-profit equestrian center (place for riding horses) that focuses on equine assisted therapy for at risk girls and young women. They also do some academic and job skills help, but check out their website for more information
- They were going to lose the farm - due to the owner of the land wanting to develop it and make a bunch of money, is what the reason seemed to be - so Corral needed to buy the land from the owner. In just three months, they raised the required million dollars! This organization is well supported by this community :)
I'd like to try volunteering with them at some point. They have an open house every month, so maybe I'll try this month. Or March.... When the weather starts getting a little nicer.... But it would be wonderful to be around horses again. Aaaah that barn smell! I'd feel a little out of my relm of abilities if I was asked to help with the girls in some way... But give me a wheelbarrow and a scooper and I'm ready to clean some stalls!

*AmazonSmile donates 0.5% of every order placed on Amazon to the charity that you have selected. Do it! An easy way to support a cause that is close to your heart!
