Yee Haw for a Cause!

This weekend John and I were cowboyed up for the annual sold out Equestrian Connection gala. EC is a phenomenal equine therapy center on the edge of Lake Forest. It offers 10 acres of riding for special needs children, giving them chance to bond with horses and improve skills such as balance. There is even a pond on property that is equipped for wheelchair access during the summer camps! The stories of those who have been helped through EC are nothing less than amazing. And the those who volunteer their time to help clean the stalls and work with riders are truly wonderful. I ride with a couple of those volunteers and theu have inspired me to get involved. So, we all honor the efforts with a concert by Kenny Loggins and the Sky Riders. At 66 years old, we ladies agreed that he is just as cute as he was during the day of, "Footloose," and "Top Gun."
