Therapeutic Riding News and Notes
As 2021 moves into 2022, we are excited to be welcoming back more volunteers and students all the time. Keep an eye on your email for a letter from Courtney when we’re ready for you to return to lessons.
Coordinating new staff, new and returning volunteers, new schedules, and the hunt for additional horses has been a challenging but rewarding puzzle, and we look forward to the program returning to its previous capacity in the early months of 2022. Still looking for a fun horse fix? Revisit the entertaining and informative videos the program produced during our Covid shutdown. They can be found on the Center’s You Tube page here.
