Photo of the Day: Sunset over Outback Stables
December 5, 2016
The sun sets over the riding arena Friday before the start of Cowboy Church at The Outback Stables in Vergennes.
The Outback Stables is a not-for-profit organization that has offered boarding for horses, farrier services, riding and therapeutic riding lessons since 2000.
“We do a service here that’s more than just horse riding,” said Tony James, the owner of The Outback Stables. “These horses are therapy of all kinds, even for able-bodied kids. … I see kids that come here and they look like they’re depressed or they look like they’re just lost. But after an hour in this arena with this horse, it’s a new child.”
