She recognized the value of learning and teaching, especially to children. Her family thought that adopting our Desi, a Norwegian Fjord, a teacher in his own right, would be a great way to honour Elma's memory.Our horses mean the world to us, they are kind, gentle teachers to our riders. We are so thankful for the generosity of Elma's family and can rest easy knowing Desi will be taken care of through their kind gesture. We are very grateful.The Powell River Therapeutic Riding Associationfeature riderMy name is Darlene, I am 58 years old and have Cerebral Palsy. more... See more text
