The business plan is in place, insurance is pending, the directors are chosen, 501c3 paperwork just about ready to file, lesson plans are done and fundraising goals and events are planned and volunteers and clients are waiting for the word. The lawyers say it is "time"!

All we need a formal name :lol:

We will be offering a sensory trail, small ag programs (think 4h for special needs children), and continued equine assisted activities. We are hoping to expand those activities to include therapeutic riding next year, and eventually driving by 2011.

We work with children and adults, they come to us with many different special needs, and we are now beginning to accept children and adults with terminal illnesses.

The farm is small but surrounded by lovely trails. We are in upstate NY. We also raise Heritage Breed ducks and chickens, they will be included in the program as well.

COTH members are so wonderfully creative that I hope you might help us toss around some ideas for a name. My "day job" is in marketing and design but sometimes it is hard to do it for yourself! I know me too well and miss some possibilities! :lol:

thank you!

I second S.P.R.O.U.T.S.! So many "marketing" things, too...."Sprout wings, and fly," "Sprouting new ______," etc.

lol! Well definitely love SPROUTS and will be using it at some point. We also have decided on the Carrot Club. While we love both for individual programs...we are still somewhat undecided on the "official" name. The way it is looking it will need to be a name that can be added to something like "at the blankety blank equestrian center". But that is GOOD news that is still under wraps and everyone will need to wait patiently until all the details are ironed out.

A hint?

It is a GORGEOUS new center with young but experience owners at the helm. They are very much interested in being active partners with the program. It is in an amazing location too. When it is done it will be a premier center...one that just isn't found in my area anywhere. SO EXCITED!!!!!!
