KLS Equine Rescue Youth Volunteer Leads FFA Demonstration with Rescue Horses
On Monday, October 5, 2026, KLS Equine Rescue youth volunteer Ellie brought two of the organization’s rescue horses—Thunder, a black-and-white paint pony, and Reese, a bay miniature horse—to the Erie County Fairgrounds. The visit was part of an FFA demonstration highlighting Ellie’s school-year project.
Hands-On Learning
Students from local schools had the opportunity to meet and interact with Thunder and Reese while learning about responsible horse care.
Ellie’s Demonstration
During the presentation, Ellie:
• Explained the horses’ daily care requirements.
• Demonstrated how she works with and trains them.
• Answered questions about her project and volunteer experience.
Familiar Faces at the Fairgrounds
Thunder and Reese were no strangers to the venue: both rescue horses have been shown at the Erie County Fair in recent years.
