Freedom Staff Assist Therapeutic Riding Program

Love of Kids — and Horses — Prompts Saturday Volunteerism

Six Freedom staffers responded to the opportunity to assist at Normandy Farms Therapeutic Riding program. Designed for disabled children, the program gives people of all abilities the chance to enjoy horseback riding.

Freedom’s volunteers were able to help in a variety of ways, from brushing horses and cleaning out stalls to assisting riders in the ring.

It was a beautiful day, well spent!
