Eagle Mountain Outpost

Eagle Mountain Outpost in North Idaho considers service back
to the community as a vital part of every boy's education.
Activities by the boys have included building and maintaining
trails for the Forest Service, helping with the Special Olympics

assisting the local Fish and Game Dept. with the distribution
of fingerling trout, they "adopted" two miles of highway for
litter pick up, worked at the local soup kitchen, the home

Happy Trails Children's
Foundation Plans To Establish Residential Home For Abused
Children
Margaret Goldman, of Happy Trails Children's Foundation in
Apple Valley, California, contacted me regarding their plans
for establishing a residential home for abused children. Happy
Trails' Honorary Co-Chairmen are Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
Margaret's questions were along the line of what kind of need
there is, if it would be feasible to work toward developing
an on-campus school in a residential healing environment,
etc. She ordered a Directory and some of you listed might
be hearing from her.
Sierra Tucson Uses
Horses As An Extremely Powerful Treatment Tool.
Sierra Tucson Adolescent Care, in Tucson Arizona 1-800-842-4487,
utilizes the therapeutic qualities of riding and caring for
horses, and sees it as an extremely powerful treatment tool.
In their latest brochure they tell the story of one of their
patients. "One of our first patients was an extremely violent,
large kid who used anger as a defense mechanism; he was as
tough as most men, and very streetwise. I watched him turn
into a kid one day at the barn. He was standing by himself
in one of the corrals, with his hands gently touching the
forehead of Lady, his favorite horse. As I walked up to him,
I could see huge tears running down his face. This was the
first time he had cried since he had been in treatment. I
asked him if he needed to talk and he said 'No, I just need
to stay here and be with her.' It's been over a year since
he finished treatment, and his mother tells me he's doing
fine. I am convinced to this day that the animal was the key
to opening this child up so he could feel his pain."
