On Friday, October 16th we begin our fall riding session for Freedom Recreation Services! FRS provides recreational activities for children with special needs.  We are the lucky hosts of the riding program! We always encourage our fellow riders and members of the community to participate in this wonderful program by coming out to the farm and volunteering. No horseback riding experience is required to volunteer. We truly enjoy our time working with these amazing children and would love to have you come out and experience it for yourself!

The dates and times are as follows:

Nov. 6th 5-6pm

Nov. 7th 9:30am-12pm

Nov.13th 5-6pm

Nov 14th 9:30am-12pm

We just wrapped up another very successful session of the Freedom Riders! This spring we were excited to have a lot of new riders join us.  We were also very pleased to see some familar faces return.  We had an excellent team of compassionate volunteers that really make it possible for this program to succeed.  The children really connect with the volunteers and their horses.  It is such an amazing feeling to be able to introduce horses and riding to these children and see them enjoy it as much as I do! We are all looking forward to the fall session in November!
