Hello, My name is Sarah and I work in the Surrey School District in the Safe Schools Dept. with youth at risk. I work closely with several young people who struggle with behaviour challenges, difficult home situations, and trouble making positive connections, and we feel very strongly about the connections that can be made with these youth and animals - horses in particular.

Thank you, Felicia, for understanding the need to help us explore the ability of the horse to communicate with us on a deep level by freely providing a 'narrative video' on your website. I often tell anyone who is interested about the seemingly magical between horse and human, but the 'right' words are elusive. The story you tell has helped me find those words!

Best,

This wonderful experience with the amazing instructor, Felicia, is an experience for all. Learning to respect and safely share some unforgetable moments. Much more is taught than the basics and everything that happens while you are there helps you realize what a wonderful gift it is to spend even the smallest of moments with these gentle creatures. This is so much more than a learning environment - this whole farm operates on love.
THANK YOU, FELICIA.
THANK , YOU LACEY.
We truly left a piece of our hearts with you both.

Felicia's love of horses is clear and she is a great role model to learn from.

Seven horses leisurely strolling a paddock in a green field off Devon Road in Port Coquitlam look as pampered and relaxed as Hollywood stars.

But their retirement wouldn't have been so happy if it wasn't for a group of volunteers with the Standardbred Horse Fan Club who raise money to rescue them.

"They are wonderful horses, they have beautiful personalities," said Felicia Allen of the race horses that were once used to pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky.

“The good news is that Wilbur will be returned to me,” said Allen to The News. “I am seeking a home for him, and trying to find a home for a pot-bellied pig is just about impossible.”

She said without the horses she is not able to run her equine therapy business and she is concerned the BC SPCA will destroy the horses, which will destroy her livelihood.

“I am hopeful that the four horses will be returned. As long as the BC SPCA doesn’t kill them, we have a fighting chance,” she said.
