Coming together to share our thoughts and experiences will help us all get to more solutions. Would y’all like to have a regular weekly conversation?

We are HERD animals, as much as the horses we love are. So let's get to know each other & then share this group to strengthen it with numbers to make a stampede into the dying horse industry! Please describe what you see your place in a herd is and how you'll use it for your own and other's benefit in this group. We would all love to see your favorite pic of you and a beloved horse.(Your WHY- a pic that shows why horses are important to you.) I'll go first. Of course I'm an Alpha Mare. Like the Alpha Mare of Alpha Mares. Is there such a thing as a Sigma mare? Anyways, I see this controlling bossiness being of benefit to myself and others in this group because someone HAS to go first, to scout the path and make sure things are safe & good for the herd, note the pitfalls and places to "get fed" and rest while maintaining social boundaries and structure. I'll share my leadership experience, strength and hope of forging new programs into our beloved horse industry that are FUN, inclusive and vital to sustain the horse/human relationship so our barns can THRIVE, instead of fight just to barely survive. We have a prehistoric connection to horses, evolving and mirroring our social structures along side each other since the dawn of civilization. I believe we can track the deterioration of our society to when we started NOT having horses as part of our everyday lives. Every State has a Department of Labor. Every Department of Labor has a Vocational Rehabilitation Agency for assisting people with handicaps and disabilities to get the training and education they need to get employment. Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA) pays up to $50 per hour per person for job training skills. Dream Power Therapy is the ONLY agricultural job training vendor in the Southeastern United States. I Know, to the core of my being, that having a well run Horse Barn Vocational Rehabilitation Training Program in every major city or town in the USA will reconnect humans with horses; updating our relationship to current societal needs and trends while revitalizing the now exclusive industry with everyday work interactions that are as essential to the people working the barns as the horses in them.
