Thank you, KSHB, for this opportunity to talk about what we love ... HorsePower!

Sponsored: Healing doesn't always happen in a counselor's office. At HorsePower Experiential Learning Program, it often begins in a barn.

Got plans at 11:00 am today? How about tuning into KSHB News and watching HorsePower's President, Hilary Funk, talk about our program! Our segment (filmed in May) will be played today and again on July 23rd. 💓 Look for our nod to Boo, our beloved horse, who passed away the day before filming.

A huge thank you to Mark DeLatour, owner of Best Offer KC, for hooking us up on this incredible opportunity! We all had so much fun with this project! Best Offer KC - Kansas City Homebuyer
