Harnessing Horses’ Healing Power

Sherri Johnson-Lobban and Bill Johnson of Johnson Farm in Waco stand alongside UMHB President Jerry Bawcom to present Appaloosa colts to Scott Simmons, right, director of Peaceable Kingdom. The Johnson family donated the horses to the university to give to the retreat center, which is south of Killeen, and caters to chronically ill children. The animals will be used for equine therapy as well as provide hands-on learning for camp attendees about caring for horses.
