Today was a most enjoyable outing in lieu of the regular meeting. We went to Sherborn to visit Horse Sensibility!! A very well-run place where horses are used for therapy for children with physical or mental disabilities. There are about a dozen horses, a huge indoor riding area, horse corrals, and a dedicated staff. Polly Kornblith, Founder and Executive Director, hosted us and provided the tour. We provided a grant that provides scholarships for the children. What was impressive was the extensive costs involved in maintaining this facility…….the vet expenses are just the tip of the iceberg. We had a surprisingly good club membership turnout and all went to John Stone’s Inn in Ashland for lunch.
