Horses just sense who you are as a person

When Cris approached me you were the person I thought about, and I told her about you and your work as well! You both are doing extraordinary programs with horses - such magnificent animals. Big hearts doing big things to help the lives of animals and people. There's nothing better than that. I respect and admire you for it, Debra Beth. xoxo

Keep up the wonderful work Cris and Full Circle. <3

You don't need validation from us! (Though thank you for it!)

You are doing so much good. Every horse you rescue is thankful as is each person their life touches. So keep up the great work you are doing to make a positive impact on the world!

Everyone has either been touched and healed by horses or they have seen them serve to change and enrich the lives of someone else they know and love. The horses and all that they are, and all that they do are the reason FCERC exists. Myself and all the wonderful people who are helping make FCERC a reality, not just a dream, are all working together for the good of the horses and to bring their magic to others. With the cost of owning and caring for a horse constantly on the rise there are more and more horses in need of a safe place to go. My involvement with horses led me to #GivingTuesday which led me to Cathy which has led me to everyone here. Thank you for the validation that FCERC is on the right track and that horses and people will benefit from the services our organization is striving to provide.

When we were having such a horrible time with my daughter early in the year, I researched it. Thankfully the situation has improved but I can't say that I don't want to consider that as an option for healing.

In fact equine therapy is very big in the MS community. Perhaps I blocked any negative comments out, but our community was wholeheartedly applauding her for bringing this issue to the forefront.

I am so glad you were also part of a community effort for a program like Full Circle. Horses are beautiful and noble animals and deserving of rescue, and this kind of therapy should flourish.

Equine therapy is also important to the MS community and to children with special needs so this is a cause near and dear to my heart. (As is all animal rescue!) Thanks for your comments.

They are gorgeous animals, aren't they? It was an honor for me to write about Cris and Full Circle, and I hope it will help them in their efforts.

Cris is an amazing woman and keeps on trying to realize her passion of rescuing horses and helping them and the people in her community. I hope my efforts will make a difference.
