As a part of this program, Glock and Hollar were challenged to design a service project to better the community.
“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for my project at first,” said Glock, “but God soon placed the Magical Meadows on my heart and it has turned into much more than an assignment.”
Glock and Hollar decided to raise money for Magical Meadows, which is a therapeutic horseback riding center for children and adults with special needs. The girls decided to raise money through their “Stallion Stampeding” fundraiser. It is a knock off of “Flamingo Flocking.”
Glock and Hollar “stampede” someone’s yard with multiple horse signs. Once the signs are placed, one of the girls will go to their door and provide the necessary information and explain that she will be back the next day. She will also let them know who “stampeded” them. The person who is stampeded then provides the name and address of the next home to be “stampeded” and makes a donation for the Magical Meadows. This keeps the fun moving.
Glock and Hollar hope to raise as much money as possible.
Magical Meadows is northeast of Warsaw, between Chapman Lake and Oswego. Tammy Stackhouse founded Magical Meadows and she currently has more than 90 riders and more than 125 volunteers. Magical Meadows is a nonprofit organization.
Therapeutic horseback riding has been recognized by The American Occupational Therapy Association and Physical Therapy Association for its benefits of strengthening weak muscles, helping tight muscles relax as well as creating emotional connections between the riders, their horses and their volunteers, according to information provided.
Highly individualized lesson plans can improve physical strength, muscle tone, balance, mobility and hand-eye coordination which are some of the visibly enhanced skills. The more subtle improvements are increased self-esteem, self-control and self-confidence, the information states.
“I have become very passionate about working with special needs kids,” said Hollar. “They have a huge place in my heart. God has laid this project on my heart and I pray for an amazing outcome and change for Magical Meadows. Thank you for your support.”
“God has put a passion in my heart to consider a career in elementary education for special needs children,” said Glock. “I feel that special needs people are sometimes forgotten and I believe that these children and adults truly spread God’s love and happiness to everyone around them. Every penny you donate makes a difference and I thank everyone for contributing to this fundraiser.”
