2024 Elementary School Visit
Belleview Elementary Fundraiser Prize
On May 8th, students from Belleview Elementary School had the opportunity to visit Orchard Hills Stables as part of a fundraising event. The students had a wonderful time touring the stable and learning about and participating in caring for the horses and goats. They were able to interact with the stable’s two horses and four goats as well as various caretakers, including a senior in high school that is raising two of the goats for 4-H. Mile High Rescue brought a very sweet mini horse, Hopscotch, as well.
A wonderful time was had by all!
