Scotty- was born with his brain outside his head. The doctors said he would die within 24 hours of birth. He didn't. This parents had the operation to put his brain inside his skull- he survived that too. The doctors then sent Scotty home 'to die'. He is 21 yrs old today- miracles continue to happen in his life. He doesn't have a brain stem and should be blind- though his vision isn't perfect he can see and has taught himself to use one eye and read. Scotty loves God and when he prays- well, it's enough to bring tears to your eyes. While visiting our home this past week- Scotty said he wanted to work with horses but he was afraid to ride. We introduce Scotty to DJ one of our Personal Ponies. We will eventually help Scotty ride horses in our therapeutic riding program- but we started small for today.

Pine Lake Pastures is a family farm dedicated to helping animals and people. Many of our horses come from rescue situations. Rescues are given proper medical care, then they are trained for our therapy riding program, lesson program, or adopted out to life time family. Horses that are unridable are allowed to retire here on the farm. Our farm has taken in goats, dogs, cats and a pig as rescues as well. Our Free Therapy program is open to anyone, any age! We work with special needs of varying degrees. Our lesson program is based on Centered/Balanced riding and is available for beginners thru advanced adults. Pine Lake Pastures is the Wisconsin Home of the Personal Pony program that is a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving Special needs children a pair of ponies at no charge.

Riders will be lead around in our outdoor or indoor arena by a volunteer. Parents are welcome to watch . We have volunteers that ride behind young people that can not hold themselves up.

Rick Barto of Promise Land Ministries (PLM) will be demonstrating and leading a discussion on how horses help us grow in fatih. This will be the first of many group meetings.
