Raintree Village March 2018

dedicated volunteers helps guarantee that children and adults with disabilities
in the Greater Houston Area will have the programs they need to live longer,
healthier, more productive lives.
In addition to their weekly work in the arena, many of our volunteers donate
their time and talents at fund-raising events such as our annual Ride-A-
Thon and the yearly Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers are on hand during
the NARHA on-site certification and annual SIRE Show-Off and volunteers
are vital to our Clients’ successes at the Top Hands Horse Show, during the
Houston Rodeo and competition at the regional and state Special Olympics.
Therapeutic horseback riding creates a bond of success between the rider
and their horse. Volunteers are their own personal cheering section and the
instructor is their mentor and coach. Clients become more empowered and
better equipped to fully live their lives, each day.
