Back to Boston She Goes

For all of August we've had a wonderful young lady working at the sanctuary.  Emily E., whose family lives in Helena and who attends Boston College, came to volunteer one day at the end of July.  We liked her so much we offered her a job for the rest of the summer.

Emily has done just about everything there is to do here, from horse care to grooming dogs to cleaning the cat house.  I took these photos of Emily this morning in "her" tractor, listening to her MP3 player while she's cleaning out the sighted horse corral.

Emily grew up with horses and is on the Equestrian Team at Boston College, so she was a natural at working with our blind horses.  She'd take them out to pasture every morning and bring them back in the evening.

Today is Emily's last day ... she goes back to Boston College for her senior year this weekend.  We'll miss her!
