My Nonprofit Reviews

My eldest daughter, Catherine, has high functioning autism. She has always loved horses and attempted lessons at another [mainstream] facility, but that was very short-lived as Catherine quickly became very frustrated and depressed because she could not learn at the pace the instructor expected of her. Little Bit has been an entirely different experience for Catherine. She has been riding there for 8 years now and has loved every minute of it. Not only has it allowed her to ride horses as she had dreamed to do for years, but it has allowed her positive social interaction outside of school and it has led to an improved self-esteem. Furthermore, I am always amazed at what Catherine can accomplish when at Little Bit. She can do things there (like multi-task, sequence, follow multi-step instructions, etc.) that she just can't do anywhere else. Although, over the years she has improved at these skills outside of Little Bit, likely due to the work that she does there at the stables. Little Bit has been - and hopefully will be for years and years to come - a very important and joyful part of Catherine's life. We're blessed to have such a wonderful establishment in our community.
