I'm a volunteer and a board member, since 2014. I've also donated a Haflinger pony to the program, and he is doing very well there, and showing all who participate and observe, what the therapeutic power of the horse can do for people of all abilities. Equi-Ed does a tremendous service for its students and is run as tightly as any non-profit I've ever worked with. I've seen students walk better, have better balance, better fine and gross motor skills, and even begin to use words and converse, after their riding experiences. Simply the best!

What impresses me most about Equi-Ed is the level of dedication and commitment demonstrated by our staff and our cadre of volunteers (many of whom are teenagers!). No detail is left to chance when it comes to supporting our students and taking care of our horses. Each student, most of whom are children, is given the respect and encouragement they deserve and treated as an individual with their own level of abilities and needs. Our instructors amaze me in their knack for challenging, yet supporting each student and the results are there to see. As a volunteer, I work with students weekly and their progress in confidence and ability is plain to see. As a board member, I am privileged to work with such a group of dedicated, caring people and look forward to serving our community to an even greater extent in the years to come!
