A poem from an RCA participant:
The hardest thing is where to begin?
When life is full of unknowns
And you feel empty within
It doesn’t take long
With a horse and a song
When times get dark, just remember to “Walk on!”
“A dream to watch them each week. I have seen such progress in each individual child in such a short amount of time, thanks to the amazing staff, directors, volunteers as well as the extremely loving horses! …My daughter[‘s] balance has improved drastically [and] her confidence has doubled each week. My son[‘s] anxiety has dropped significantly. …[It is a] beautiful hour each week for my children full of happiness and determination.”
–Parent of Windrush Farm clients
“The students absolutely love it and look forward to it every single week. They really enjoy the way they’re being taught about the horses and had an amazing time [riding].”
–Ysa G., site coordinator at Frost Elementary, whose students participate in our Read, Write & Ride program
“Phenomenal experience, focused on connection with self, others and healing. Tremendous instruction and teaching while facilitating new skills and confidence within.”
