Children, Dartmouth students touched by kind horses
Sally Batton, Dartmouth College's Director of Riding, works in a place where memories and miracles are made. Her favorite story involves a10-year-old child who enrolled in the Farm's Challenge program for mentally challenged children and adults. Before participating in the program, he had trouble speaking to his parents and looking people directly in the eye. After his first lesson, he made eye contact with his parents for the first time, while correctly reciting the names of all the Farm's horses.
