Program.
Hans Rehrmann introduced today's speaker, Michell Sabol the executive director of the Equestrian Therapy Program in Cridersville.
Michell Sabol
Michelle talked about the therapeutic benefits that riding a horse provides to physically, as well as, mentally handicapped children and adults. She described, in detail, how a wheelchair bound woman learned to walk again through this program. She said that they currently have 14 horses and that not just any horse is suitable for this program. The horses must be calm spirited. The program needs constant funding. A one houre ride costs around $90 per horse and the typical rider can usually afford no more than $10. They run classes from 9 AM to 5 PM plus some evenings.
There is a lot more information at their web site and on the PDF brochure attached to the email.
