Friends of the Barn Blog (FOBB)

An FOBB, Andrea Garry (2007 NDA Schooling Show Training Level Open Champion) was quoted in a very heart warming article in The Grand Island Independent recently. Andrea is the riding coach of a young lady from Central Nebraska with Neonatal Onset Multi-Inflammatory Disease. Click here to read the article that discusses Janelle's struggle with her disease and how her horses help her through the tough times.
Way to go Andrea and Janelle!! We should all strive to have the ever present smile and perseverance that Janelle does!

Stories like this are proof that horses are far more powerful, and moving than we'll ever realize.

Take a moment and appreciate how lucky you are to have such glory in your life.
