All About the Event
This is the very first benefit event being held for and at the Scotty Foundation. A lot has affected all of us this year. This Central Florida foundation is one of the ones who got caught in the middle of it all. There will be food, activities, and free horseback riding. Any and every kind of donation is greatly appreciated.
The Scotty Mission
The big focus of this foundation is to help rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses and other animals including pigs, goats, cats, and dogs. If anyone knows of an animal that is in need of a good forever home, then you should probably bring them with you as well. The Scotty Foundation also provides therapeutic benefits to those people and families who might otherwise not be in a position to gain access to these animals and to find these animals a forever home.
The Foundation works hard to provide children and families a chance to learn to train, care for, and ride horses. No matter what age you are. Abbey and Susan (Owners of the Scotty Foundation) are dedicated on educating and promoting a more natural harmonious interaction, of not only humans and horses, but all the world’s creatures. They strive to give the animals that land in our care a new meaningful purpose in life. Our horses, and other animals, interact in the community to educate and bring awareness to responsible horsemanship.
Therapeutic benefits of the Scotty Foundation
The horses at the Scotty Foundation are not just meant to be trained and rehomed but these horses also have helped teenagers’ mental health stability. We are not saying that the horses have any magical treatment to cure mental health in teens, but it does show results. The love of these gentle giants does help wonders. The Scotty Foundation has benefited a lot of the youth throughout Central Florida youth and plans to continue.
Some of the Horses you will meet
Murphy’s Story
Murphy arrived at The Scotty Foundation in 2014 at the age of 2 years old. He was purchased by Mrs. Susan originally as a personal horse and was one of the original horses at the ranch! Murphy loves to manipulate his way into being lazy horse when he does not want to work. He loves to just lounge around and eat apples. Being a Tennessee walker, he is a gaited horse and loves to show off his prance as well!
Tiny’s Story
Tiny is the largest horse at The Scotty Foundation. She was rescued from Atlanta and brought to the foundation in 2017 when she was 9 years old. While her size would make her a great carriage horse, her personality was too gentle to be lugging carts around down the street. Because Tiny is so big, she eats twice as much as the other horses. Despite her size, she is often bullied by some of the more dominate horses. However, she is a gentle giant and loves everyone.
Flicka’s Story
Flicka was rescued in Florida as she was left in a field to die with no food or water. She came to the ranch in 2014 when she was only 4 years old. Flicka is one of the 15,000 worldwide Rocky Mountain horses. She is the head of the herd and very dominate. Most days, she loves to gallop down the pasture and jump poles in our arena. Even though she loves to dominate, she is so sweet and gives gentle kisses to all those that ask.
Skye’s Story
Skye was born at The Scotty Foundation in September 2015. Since his mother is on-site, he is incredibly lucky to be able to stay with his mother as most young horses are taken away. He can be sweet and affectionate; however, Skye is still young and learning his manners. He is a natural jumper and sometimes you can catch him trying to clear gates on his own. He is slowly learning to work under the saddle and is most suited for our experienced riders at this time.
Spirit’s Story
In 2016, Spirit’s previous owner reached out to the foundation to help take care of Spirit. She was 6 years old and had never been ridden when she arrived at the ranch. Mr. Abbey worked with Spirit and was able to send a video of her being ridden to her previous owner, before she passed. Spirit is a sweet, gentle, and loving Arabian/Quarter Horse cross. She transforms into a beautiful unicorn for our birthday parties and loves all the attention the kids give her
