Hi my name is Dakota. I am fourteen and I attend Mt Abraham Union High School.
I started coming to the barn three years ago with my sister, now I come with a friend. I think that kids need to have a place where they can go and learn about animals and ask any questions that they have, if they need too, and not be scared to ask it. A place were boys can learn to do manly stuff. For example, fixing something that is broken. Kids need a place where they won’t get sucked into bad stuff like drugs or alcohol or cigarettes. I hope more people come to the barn and that we can open up the indoor riding arena for winter or at night. I think in a kid’s life there needs to be three things to keep them happy: 1. fun/free time, 2. time outside and 3. time with animals. It could be time with pets or barn animals it doesn’t matter. At the Sentinel Farms there’s all three together.
