“My son Ezra is 6 years old and lives with autism. He was non-verbal for the first 4 years of his life but that changed after attending weekly animal assisted therapy sessions. Ezra started kindergarten this year and it has been very hard on him and our family but every week he’s able to finish on a good note because of the amazing therapy mini horses. Ezra has grown in so many ways, he now speaks more and is able to focus and follow directions all things that were very challenges for him in the past. We are very grateful for 1 FUR 1’s help in keeping Ezra in a positive and helping environment and also by helping alleviate the burden of trying to balance medical bills and keeping Ezra in therapeutic activities.” — Joann Fouquette, (military family from San Diego County, CA)
