ATO Fraternity House Meets Animal House

One Heart put 25 young men from Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity of Iowa State University to work on Wednesday.  Boy, were they alot of help!   Things got built, moved, sorted, cleaned, painted, moved again, swept, washed, arranged, and repaired.  Following all that work we had a chance to have our volunteers try out Petunia.  This was her first round with a rider.  She was great!   Of course, there was some newness to having sidewalkers and a rider on backwards but Jen and I were pleased with what we saw.  Fritz also came into the arena for the first time and played with all the stuff.  He was especially facinated with the mounting block which he kept pawing and chewing.  When a barrel was rolled in front of him, he stepped up to it instead of backing away.  All we have to do now is not SPOIL him!
We found ATO to represent their goals of a brotherhood striving to gain leadership skills and demonstrate Christian values.  It was a fun time with forward progress on the big clean up for the party.  Thanks, ATO!!
