New Life For Horses and Inmates

This article about inmates working with retired racehorses touched very close to my heart.
As an undergraduate I participated in a reading conversation group sponsored by my university at a nearby medium security prison.  My time working with the inmates taught me so much and opened my eyes to a completely different sphere of society than the one that I grew up in.  I would love to participate in a similar program again.  Combining that experience with my love for horses sounds ideal.  Second Chance Farm looks like an amazing place.
