I Saw A Child I saw a child who couldn't walk. Sit on a horse, laugh and talk. Then ride it through a field of daisies And yet he could not walk unaided. I saw a child, no legs below, Sit on a horse, and make it go Through woods of green And places he had never seen To sit and share Except from a chair. I saw a child who could only crawl, Mount a horse and sit up tall. Put it through degrees of paces And laugh at the wonder in our faces. I saw a child born to strife Take up the reins of life And that same child was heard to say, Thank you God for showing me the way. ~John Anthony Davies
What a difference Love, Kindness, and a Horse makes!

Gift Buckets were hand painted and filled with great treats and gifts for each Special Equestrian Athlete at the 2008 Alabama All Arabian Horse Show. These buckets were sponsored by Tammy Cousins, Andi Murphy and the Alabama Arabian Horse Association. Tammy hand painted and made each bucket with love, in honor of her beloved Arabian horse RLF Backstage. Stage was Tammy's first Arabian horse as well as her first Arabian show horse. When the time came she passed Stage on to her niece, Andi, to love, ride, show and enjoy. The gift buckets were presented to each athlete by Tammy Cousins and Andi Murphy along with many of their family members that loved Stage too.

Special Equestrian Volunteers are a very important part of every facility.
Pioneer of MGH Arena in Talladega, Alabama ~ Pioneer was the first HORSE ever to be inducted in to the Alabama Animal Hall of Fame in February of 2004.
