Goliath is adopted to help youths at risk
Posted by on Feb 3, 2009 in Association News, Horses | 0 commentsWith his big heart and generous calm nature, Goliath has found his perfect forever home helping youths at risk in the beautiful Carcassonne countryside.
It is little more than 2 weeks since we were first asked to find Goliath a home, and on Friday he went to live with his adopter, Wanda, who runs the Association Vivre a plein temps.
We wish them all the very best together and just know he is going to fulfill this role perfectly.
In the heart of the countryside and with the animals, the youngsters will find their real values, which adds to the values taught by others or which will be taught during their stay. Horses, big, strong, soft, majestic creatures have their own language, the youngsters will need to study and understand them. Horses need to be loved but also need someone firm that will not let them get away with everything. Horses do not judge anyone, they either submit or defend themselves. Only love and respect from the youngster will enable him to have a good relationship with the horse. Knowing and understanding the hierarchy and its role within a group of horses will enable the youngster to relate it to people.
