  • The Gentle Barn is a wonderful organization that takes in and rehabilitates abused and abandoned animals, then brings in troubled kids and teens to share their healing. It all started when Ellie Laks' parents told her she could have as many animals as she liked when she grew up. Now, she has 170.

    Well, hold your horses (so to speak) because Ellie is making plans to start opening more locations in other parts of the country. So there may be a Gentle Barn opening closer to you after all!

    I had that same experience. My beloved cat went missing and after 2 weeks of posting Lost Cat posters and crying every night my mom laughed and said “We took her for a little ride in the country” and I never saw her again. I remember her every time I see a dead kitten at the side of the road.

    The Gentle Barn needs a UA-cam channel to make some extra money...I followed them on FB, until I left FB a few years back...and I miss them, but I won't go back to FB. They would make extra money on UA-cam, unlike FB, for their organization and the animals.

    This is my ultimate dream. How did you even begin creating this dream. Where should I start to make this my reality? How did you go about buying land, make money to keep it going, find the animals, learn about farm animals?

    • @SmileTVGroup
      @SmileTVGroup  8 років тому +3

      +kaled Karim Hi Kaled. Thanks for the question. The reason the horses are wearing eye covers is to keep the dust out of their eyes when the wind blows. They also can keep horses calm when unfamiliar people are present.
