Review for Spirit Open Equestrian Program, Great Falls, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I started volunteering with Spirit Open Equestrian Program in middle school, nine years ago. As an aspiring veterinarian, I am incredibly lucky to have gotten the opportunity to work with horses and people of all different ages and backgrounds. The skills learned and the friendships I have made as a volunteer have followed me ever since. Coming in to Spirit, I was really excited to work with horses and help disabled riders benefit from hippotherapy, but I did not expect to grow so much myself. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to have worked with such kind hearted, inspiring people, who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others (both four legged and two). Davorka Suvak has transformed too many lives to count with her program, and I am so incredibly grateful to have been a part of it growing up. Seeing children bond with horses and overcome their personal challenges is one of the most beautiful things anyone can see in this world and I feel truly honored to have been able to see so many grow in the saddle. Thank you Dada, for everything!
