My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a Registered Instructor at the North Carolina Therapeutic Riding Center for over 28 years. Many times people ask me why I still teach and what is so special about this program.....there are 100 reasons why I have stayed – the look on a rider’s face when they connect with their horse; the smile of a parent who watches their child and for a short while forgets that their child has a disability; the smiles and the hugs our riders give to the volunteers and horses; the compassionate and dedicated volunteers; the smile of a rider who may not talk, may not walk, who may feel different, but on the back of a horse can do anything; the celebration of the small successes with a rider who has worked hard; knowing I have the opportunity to work with other dedicated professionals who believe in our work; the “warm and fuzzy” feeling I always have when I finish working with our riders, no matter how bad my day may have been; all of the riders who have each touched my heart...
