Therapeutic Riding News and Notes
While 2020 has been an unusual year, we have enjoyed finding fun and creative ways to engage with our students. It’s been good to stay connected with our riders and volunteers, whether through informative videos, fun games and coloring pages, or by sharing your art and activities. We’ve begun to slowly start welcoming back a limited number of students in the early phases of our reopening plan. Part of that plan includes new safety protocols, such as hand washing stations, and scheduling time between lessons to disinfect all surfaces. Although it may take a while, we look forward to the day when all of our riders can return. In the meantime, revisit all of our entertaining videos on our YouTube page!
