In the later 1970’s, The Rev. Bagot King-Edwards and his wife Hope, themselves avid horse people, heard of programs being offered for the disabled and decided to make it the project of their retirement. An ambitious undertaking for a couple in their late 70’s! Rev. King-Edward’s parish, St. George’s Anglican Church, was the first group to lend financial support through an annual craft show. The program’s first home was at the farm of Jack and Ann Guest, using horses generously provided by the Guests. Their daughter, Lee Ann, was one of the first instructors.
