I joined Free Rein Therapeutic Riding as a volunteer in 2011 right after I retired.  I was looking for an organization to join to fill my days with new experiences.  Dave joined me as a volunteer for Free Rein, 4 years later, when he retired.  Free Rein is such a rewarding experience and brings both Dave and me so much joy.

Free Rein is a horse assisted program for Special Needs kids, adults and veterans.  I cannot think of anything more fun or more rewarding than being able to work with horses in order to help kids and adults build confidence & physical strength.  This program not only helps the riders develop but brings the volunteers so much joy to see how much the riders benefit from this program and to be able to make so many great friends who enjoy the same thing.

One of of my best memories is of two little boys who were brothers, who had physical disabilities.  When Dave & I first started volunteering with them, they could not walk on their own or even sit upright on their horse fir very long.  After 3 years of classes, being their horse leaders, they went from not being able to walk on their own to excitedly running to us to ride their horses.

If you are able, can you please help keep this amazing organization operating by donating to this new fundraiser & sharing with your friends.

Thank you!

Jan & Dave
