My sister has been riding at North Country RIDE for the past 6 years. She has growen in her confidence and communication skills greatly over this time period and I must contribute this change to the experiences she has had at NCR. The program encourages ability not disability and the instructors and volunteers have a true passion for what they do, always showing respect and sincerity to the clients.
I have been involved with North Country RIDE since 2009. I have volunteered as a teachers assistance, bookkeeping, and serve on the board of directors. I had started volunteering here to gain confidence around horses, with the hopes in owning one again. I was able to achieve this goal in 2011. I am also a special olypmics coach. I would recommend that others volunteer for enrichment opportunities.
I have been involved with NCR for the past 4 years. Helping people with Special Needs learn to ride and enjoy equine facilitated activities has become my passion. Over the past several years NCR has gone through a revitalation period. The Board of Directors created a strategic plan and evaluates, updates and revises the plan on a frequent basis. The instructors are all top notch and know their jobs well.i believe NCR has a very important place in our community and with their expanding services to at risk youth, people with mental health issues, veterans and school field trips along with all the other people they serve with special needs, they have a very bright future.
