Mrs. Jennifer LeFever, Alec's Special Guest

Alec and Mrs. LeFever

We were a small group this day!  I love the shirts though!

Great silly Christmas vacation faces!

What a special opportunity it was to meet Alec's special guest, Mrs. Jennifer LeFever.  Mrs. LeFever has been a Hearts' Stories guest before 3 years ago and it was so wonderful to have a guest return and come and tell their story again.  Alec's big sister, Isabella, was in a Hearts' Stories classroom when she was in 2nd grade and Mrs. LeFever was also her special guest.  What a testament to Mrs. LeFever and the impact she is having on Alec's family and on all the children she meets.  Mrs. LeFever is a horse rider who began showing in interest in horses from a very early age.  She took her first riding lesson when she was 3 years old and now she is a trick rider and works at Double C Ranch.  Mrs. LeFever worked for Dixie Stampede for 13 years and she also brings her horse Rosie to Carolina Opry for the Christmas Show.  We got to see a very cool video of her showing some of the tricks she can do while she is riding a horse and we were very impressed!  Most of the time now you can find Mrs. Le Fever working at Double C Ranch taking care of the horses and giving lessons to students.  She also does a lot of work with the Fidelis Foundation which helps introduce kids to horses.  For more information about this wonderful organization click here.  I wish the weather had cooperated with us so we could have seen Mrs. Jennifer in action, but we all know where to find her at Double C!
