Marj Honored By Patriots As Community MVP
At a ceremony inside Gillette Stadium Thursday, the Kraft family announced Marjorie Kittredge, of North Andover as one of this year’s honorees as a New England Patriots Community MVP.
Marj was recognized as a local community volunteer for her above-and-beyond service to others in the six New England states. She was nominated for her life’s work improving the lives of individuals with disabilities.
Marj founded WFTE, one of the first therapeutic equitation centers in the United States and was a pioneer in her field.
Amanda Hogan, Executive Director of Windrush Farm was at Gillette to accept the football shaped wooden trophy and a check for $1,500 to the nonprofit in her honor.
"Her dedication to bettering the lives of individuals with disabilities and her belief that “we are all capable of more than we think we are” is phenomenal. For that, she is an inspiration to us all,” said Amanda Hogan, Executive Director.

The Town of North Andover VOTES YES!
Last night, the North Andover voters approved the use of $2.5 million of the town's Community Preservation Act Funds to buy 160 acres of Windrush Farm.
This is the first step in preserving all 195 acres of Windrush Farm. In order for this deal to go through, Windrush Farm Therapeutic Equitation, Inc. has until October 31st to come up with the $1 million to buy the land on which we operate the program - 25 acres in North Andover and another 10 acres in Boxford.
About $445,000 has already has been raised.
Now that the town of North Andover is in support of this project, WFTE will officially launch Phase I of a two phased capital campaign to raise $3 million.
"This vote is a giant leap forward in our efforts to preserve all 195 acres of Windrush Farm", says Amanda Hogan, Executive Director of WFTE, Inc. "Now the challenge is raising $1 million in cash by the October deadline."

Calling All Women - Sign Up For the HorseSense Program
Join Kagan Associates On June 18 For A Little Bit Of HorseSense!!
Hello Ladies,
On June 18th, Kagan Associates will run a special women's HorseSense program - "A Little Bit of HorseSense" - designed especially for our women friends and colleagues.
We will be holding this program at lovely Windrush Farm, a non-profit therapeutic riding facility in Boxford/North Andover.
To celebrate our first women's program, we are offering "A Little Bit of Horse Sense" at the special price of $295/person, a portion of which will go to Windrush Farm.
The day will be designed around a series of unmounted exercises with the horses, and the focus will be on personal power and presence, and the impact of having clear intention on results. Whatever healthy patterns we seek to create for ourselves --- setting boundaries, making clear decisions, asserting ourselves without anger or resignation, or simply taking time to "play" - horses can gently and safely guide us through a process of self-discovery and learning.
