Gentle tutelage: Woodside's Rebekah Witter trains miniature horses as 'therapy' animals

Original post made on Sep 11, 2016

They whinny, they eat hay, they each have four legs and a mane and a long face every day. Lovey and Shiloh, for those are their names, are horses, of course, and live, for the time being, with others of their kind at the Woodside home of equestrian Rebekah Witter, a noted trainer of horses.

Hi. My daughter saw the article in the Almanac regarding the tutelage of miniature horses as therapy animals. We would love to find out if there are volunteer positions with Rebekah Witter? My daughter has ridden horses at Garrod Stables for years and works with Animal Assisted Happiness and the Silicon Valley Animal rescue groups.

Volunteering with Rebekah would be a great opportunity to blend Tess's love of horses, animal rescue and to aid in training therapy horses to help others.

Thank you,
Kathleen

Tess is 16 years old
