Fall Therapeutic Riding Session
Our Fall therapeutic riding session starts on Sept. 11. Many of our summer riders are looking forward to continuing their riding journey with us, and we’ve been busy bringing on new riders from the waiting list. A huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers, who make it all possible!!
Special Thanks to the Harry E. Foster Foundation
We are grateful for a generous donation from the Harry E. Foster Foundation in support of therapeutic riding program enhancements for people with developmental disabilities.
Coming Soon: Sensory Trail
With most of the summer heat behind us, we are getting ready to launch our new “Sensory Trail”. Our volunteer riders have been training the horses to be ready for this new opportunity. Soon, community members will be able to enjoy the Sensory Trail as much as the horses do. Stay tuned….
