New Spirit Farm in western Lake Worth,
Florida is "The Farm in the City" that provides Recreational
physical activity to children and adults. Equestrian activities
provide emotional growth and have been proven to help children
and adults to feel and function better emotionally and physically.
Workign with horses builds self confidence, social skills and
promotes exploration of behaviors. Horses teach children and adults
to understand their feelings and help define healthy relationships
without the perceived fear of rejection. Horses teach us to live
in the present, embrace simplicity and embody fun.
Our non profit organization is in need of funding and all donations
will help the growth of New Spirit Farm. Currently, we only have
funds to operate on weekends. If we can open up weekdays, we can
offer free services to the public school systems and allow many
more children to experience "The Farm in the City".
Also funds are needed for the daily operation of the farm. The
vet care and feeding of the horses is very expensive. Since hurricane
Wilma, we have rescued 2 horses and placed 5 other horses into
good caring homes.
