Where has our summer gone? For that matter, when did it begin?
It is hard to believe that we have completed the spring and summer equine sessions, the first ever canoeing program session and are starting the fall equine session. It seems like just a short time ago that we were concerned about being able to start these sessions on time. But with a lot of hard work from Dianna Schmaus, Cheryl Liedle, Haylee Otteson, Shelby Blixt, Debra Franklin, Glenn Johnson and all of the volunteers too numerous to name, these programs not only started on time but have been very successful. A big thank you for a job well done.
On a personal note, this will be my last message as President of EMH. Holding this position has been an honor as well as a very rewarding experience. The generosity and kindness I have seen has renewed my faith in the goodness of people. Numerous times in the past 2 ½ years I wondered if or where we would find the funds and the energy to continue and each time help appeared from an unexpected source. On behalf of all of the participants that we serve and myself, a huge thanks to the Board, the staff, the volunteers and all of the community members and donors that allow Eagle Mount Helena to continue to serve people with disabilities.
Purt Near the best day to have a trail ride!
Our 3rd annual ride for freedom on May 16 was met with beautiful blue skies, and approximately, 32 eager riders who enjoyed a unique opportunity to enjoy a guided tour through the Historic Fort Harrison grounds. It was followed with a BBQ lunch, and riders enjoyed stories of Cowboys past with Roy Pace -Helenas’ Cowboy Poet. A huge thank you goes out to the 89th Montana Cavalry- Montana Army National Guards for their support, and generous donation of time to make this day so successful. Join us next year for this rare opportunity to ride through Historical Fort Harrison.
Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
That’s where the West begins;
Out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter,
Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter,
That’s where the West begins.Out where the skies are a trifle bluer,
Out where friendship’s a little truer,
That’s where the West begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there’s laughter in every streamlet flowing,
Where there’s more of reaping and less of sowing,
That’s where the West begins;Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts in despair are aching,
That’s where the West begins;
Where there’s more of singing and less of sighing,
Where there’s more of giving and less of buying,
And a man makes friends without half trying —
That’s where the West begins.From Out where the West Begins, 1917

Saturdays event started with blue skies and began with the 3K race. This route led its leprechauns to the end of the rainbow, where the leprechaun king claimed his gold. The smiles on the faces of Eagle Mount participants, while dashing to the end of the rainbow, brought even more satisfaction to all who turned out.
