Emilia Scovel, 10

“My second week of volunteering, there was this little girl, and she didn’t know anything–and I didn’t either! There’s this tack room where we get the stuff to get the horses ready, and the saddles are big, mind you, and she’s like four, and she helped me bring her tack to her horse. So there’s this little four year old, carrying her saddle, and now we’ve become ‘best friends.’ I see her every Tuesday, and her request is to always carry the saddles. And she also has a walker, so she uses her walker and carries a saddle that’s three times bigger than her.”
