Along with their fundraiser this weekend, LyonHeart will be raffling off a 2023 Red Roan AQHA Filly during the Cattlemen’s Classic in Kearney at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds at 4pm on Thursday, February 22, 2024. LyonHeart staff will be at the Classic both Wednesday and Thursday with the filly. Raffle tickets are $50 each and can be purchased on site or online on their website.
The filly was born June 3, 2023 and was donated to LyonHeart by Chris & Penny Sock of Broken Bow, Nebraska.
ABOUT: LyonHeart Equine Assisted Learning partners horses and youth in strategic learning opportunities which empower youth to overcome social, emotional, behavioral & educational challenges. Horses connect with participants in a way that builds confidence, leading to a positive mindset and incredible outcomes. LyonHeart is a non-riding facility. All equine-assisted activities are completed on the ground. This allows the relationship to develop as a partnership rather than the person attempting to establish control on the back of a horse. Facilitators are trained educators and volunteers who ensure safety of youth and horses.
