I started volunteering at Little Bit for a community service project in 6th grade. I had already been riding horses for a couple years and was very intrigued by what they did for people with disabilities. In the Saturday class i volunteer in, I have watched certain riders grow over the years and their progress has been truly incredible. I have made so many new friends, volunteers and riders alike. It warms my heart to see these kids make such amazing progress, and to know I am directly involved with changing someone's life. Little Bit is such an amazing place, they are so friendly and are incredibly passionate about what they do. Miracles happen there every day, and it's such an amazing feeling to know you're a part of them.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
becoming a better person and seeing life in a new light. When I go to Little Bit I am a part of something huge, something that changes people's lives. I am able to improve my horse knowledge and skills as well, but i also feel like I'm doing something good in my life.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make more classes so more people are able to experience the benefits of Little Bit. :] Also, I think it would be nice if people who had years of horse experience, like myself, were able to bridle the horses and do more things with them, because we are adaptive and can handle different horses and what they need. I've ridden lots of different types of horses and have been able to adapt to each one's temperament and personality.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I volunteered in one of the sport classes.
