"One of the keys to our alternative school success is the partnerships with our community.  The initial goal of our relationship with Majestic Miniatures was to prepare the horses for their community interactions.  While everyone loved working with the horses at the farm, our students and staff will never forget the days the miniatures came to school!  On those days, students worked to teach them to maneuver doorways, stairs, and elevators.  This wouldn't have happened without Debi's extensive knowledge which allowed her to coach the students in their approach.  Ultimately, the miniatures mastered their goals, but we think the best part was the mutually beneficial relationship the horses provided to our at-risk students.  Their gentle nature and presence served as its own kind of therapy for our kids, and for that we are grateful."
