“ I think it just really gave me a lot of happiness back, and that’ s something I think I needed” photo by Boris Ladwig way she feels about herself will reflect on others, whether horses or humans.
Kendall, a sophomore, said the activities with the horses help her relax from her busy schedule, and she enjoys interacting and cooperating with the animals.
“ I think it just really gave me a lot of happiness back, and that’ s something I think I needed,” she said.
Hope for Hearts Farm is a nonprofit that generates revenue through fundraising and grants but mostly is sustained through donations, which also provide partial scholarships for the clients. Bryenton, for example, said she pays $ 20 per child per week.
Bowman said she founded the farm in part because she received help from horses at Trinity Farm in Monrovia.
“ I went through a time that shattered my selfesteem, and doing the work with the horses there at Trinity helped me gain my confidence back,” she said.
“ I feel like everything I have done and experienced in my life has brought me to this point.… Doing this work is really my life’ s purpose,” she said.
