Sponsor Forms
*An Indoor Riding Facility will also allow us to accommodate more riders (up to 250/year), will create jobs (additional support staff will be needed to upkeep larger barn/more clients), will be available as a community resource for local agencies and organizations. Benefits to year-long therapy include treatment and illness prevention, increased physical fitness (lowering medical costs for clients), progress will be steady and information will be retained (eliminating frustration and creating self-confidence), provides winter activity that does not require legs/mobility/balance, as the typical winter activities do (skiing, hockey, skating, etc).
Current list of Sponsors: Our program, now in its 25th year, is only possible through the generous support of the business community and community organizations. Your support is what enables this program to continue.
