Lenawee Therapeutic Riding

Lenawee Therapeutic Riding Rides the Winds of Change by providing therapeutic horseback riding and a specifically designed program involving the use of horses and ponies to provide riding for physically and emotionally impaired individuals.

Lenawee Therapeutic Riding is a nonprofit organization that exists on contributions through fundraising activities, community service organizations, businesses and individual donations. Financial support is needed to pay for insurance, equipment, facility rental, scholarships, instructor's fees, public relations and continuing education courses.

How can you help?: New volunteers are essential for the continued success of the program and are needed for all aspects of the program. If you would like to become involved or need more information, contact Janelle Stewart, MSU Extension Educator - Youth Development. Your financial contributions are appreciated and are tax deductible if itemized. We welcome any visitors who would like to attend our in-session riding programs.

take up and hold the reins of life,

and that same child was heard to say
