As a non-profit organization, they rely on a strong and committed group of professionals and volunteers to keep them going. Referrals from riders families as well as the medical, teaching and social service professionals of the county keep them growing. The constant additions to their waiting list attest to their reputation as a reliable and respected organization.  Their staff consists of therapists, riding instructors, and volunteers who all share the same passion for helping others and a love of horses.
