Tonight was our last night with our first group of riders this summer. More than one asked why it had to be the last night. We love that they enjoy spending time with the horses and people.
Thank you so much to the volunteers that help make this program happen. If you are interested in volunteering let us know.
We have Thursday off for the holiday weekend then will start with the next group next week.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!
