I don’t know about you, but I’m perplexed!
How did it get to be September? Where has 2025 gone? We’ve had a fantastic summer, and we look forward to an exciting fall.
The Boys and Girls Club members from Highlands and Cashiers have filled our summer with many trips to CDF to learn about the care of the horses and how to interact with them.
As school begins fall sessions with after school visits and programs will too.
For our regular readers I just had to share the amazing time we all had with our Florida volunteers, Ryan and Dillon Goodwin. Their school requires many hours of volunteerism to graduate. Hours are based on which “program” in which you’re participating. An honors track student as Ryan is and entering his senior year is required 400 total hours! He had requested coming to the farm for five days to work eight-hour days to get him closer to his completion of hours!
Ryan and Dillon were among the very best volunteers I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. Their joyful and eager attitudes to learn, to help and to enjoy getting to know the horses, their personalities, needs and wants was a bonus!
Gifts come to Carpe Diem in a wide variety of ways. We are humbled and honored to have been chosen again this year to receive a grant from Mountain Findings. Their generosity to help with the horse’s expenses allows us to provide more opportunities to offer rewarding and enriching programs and activities for children.
