Horse rescue farm gets help from inmates - Garrett County horse follow up

Seems like the rescue horses are doing much better and they're making new friends;
from the Baltimore Sun:

Even as she toiled at a Woodbine farm Thursday in the relentless heat and humidity, Paula Jordan said she and three other female inmates were grateful to the owners for allowing them "a little taste of freedom."

Jordan, a 41-year-old Baltimore resident convicted of second-degree assault, is a member of a newly formed crew dispatched from the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women to pitch in twice a week with maintenance on the 58 acres of rolling pasture at Days End Farm Horse Rescue.

The nonprofit organization long known for giving horses second chances at life is turning a spotlight on prisoners in need of the same opportunity.

"I made wrong choices and I'm paying the consequences," said the single mother of three who is serving a six-year sentence at the Jessup prison and is slated to be released in October 2011.

"We accept that we will be working in the fields for now, but I love animals," Jordan said eagerly. "We met some of the horses Tuesday and learned the ways they communicate. This will be a good learning experience."
