School holidays mean freedom from the school routine and the promise of fun adventures.

For one Amicus Children’s Services participant, the recent school holidays were all of that and more.

The young person, who loves horses, was lucky enough to visit the Horse Hand property in Echuca for the day.

As part of their horsemanship program, the facility aims to entertain every child and give them the opportunity to make friends with a beautiful horse.

As part of the school holiday program visit, the children learn about grooming, ground communication, as well as riding.

While she was there, she was able to meet, groom and ride her special horse – Ranchi.

And, if that action-packed day was not enough, the participant also jetted to Bendigo for a wonderful night.

There she and her support worker got their ‘neon glow’ on to participate in Bendigo After Dark – a special event where Bendigo’s beautiful Rosalind Park is transformed for several weeks with vibrant installations and light projections, offering visitors an unforgettable display.

After this wonderful sensory experience, it was off to the cinema to watch and groove their way through the Elvis movie.
