When Isabel was a child, she had a black horse named Sunny. Now, as a resident at the Brenda Strafford Foundation, she often talks about Sunny, reliving her favourite memories from her time on the farm. So, when Isabel’s friend heard about the Pursuit of a Lifetime program, she knew a horse visit would be the perfect wish.
“We chat about her horse all the time. Her favourite memories are of her and her horse, Sunny,” said Isabel’s friend. “She has a picture of herself on her door of when she was 14 with Sunny.”
With the help of a local farm, the Brenda Strafford Foundation was able to arrange for a horse to visit Isabel at Tudor Manor. She had the chance to pet the horse and talk about her memories of Sunny. After the visit, she was given a gift basket full of goodies to commemorate the special day.
The Brenda Strafford Foundation is proud to offer our residents, like Isabel, a chance to pursue their dreams, discover new experiences, and rekindle old passions.
