I’ve been volunteering at Riding to the Top, a non-profit riding center in Windham, ME that teaches children and adults with physical/emotional/learning disabilities to care for and ride horses. The center provides scholarships to riders who otherwise could likely not have such an opportunity.
The progress I’ve seen in one rider (who has very limited verbal and physical skills) has impressed me so much – it’s a delight to see her responding and looking forward to each lesson. Check out their website for details.
This Sunday, I will be assisting throughout the day preparing the horses and assisting riders on the trail ride. At some point in the day, I’ll have the opportunity to ride one of the center’s horses – wheeeeeeee!!!!
I’d greatly appreciate it if you would donate (any amount!) to sponsor my ride, And remember to feel free to get in touch with me if you are ever in the Windham/Portland, ME area (20+ years is a long time). Love and God bless to all.
