Cooper Cares, Honeywell Continue Volunteer Partnership at Local Ranch
 Last Thursday, students from Cooper High School's Cooper Cares group joined Honeywell employees to volunteer at the Majestic Hills Ranch, the south metro's only therapeutic horseback riding. Thanks to an infusion of more than 1,000 hours of volunteer labor, the ranch got a major overhaul. The Lakeville ranch has helped hundreds of U.S. Military veterans and children with developmental disabilities through therapeutic horseback riding programs.
Volunteers built a ramp to a hydraulic lift to enable those in wheelchairs to safely board a horse. They also assembled a patio to serve as a safe, comfortable seating area for those watching family members participate in therapeutic classes. The 320-foot fence surrounding the riding arena was repaired and painted, and volunteers also stabilized a manure bunker, laid gravel and landscaped.
"Collectively, the Honeywell and Cooper volunteers are the largest volunteer group we've ever had at the site," said Kris Zieska, director of children's programs at Majestic Hills Ranch. "Thanks to their efforts, our ranch is now a safer, more beautiful place for the veterans and children we serve, and their work on the wheelchair ramp will enable even more people to experience therapeutic riding."
The volunteer project is one of many in an ongoing partnership between Honeywell Hometown Solutions and Cooper High School's Cooper Cares program. Together, the organizations have completed thousands of hours of volunteer work to benefit organizations and individuals around the Twin Cities.
