y son will begin his 3rd season with Dream
Riders in April. Jonah is 8 and his list of disabilties is extensive. Through Dream Riders,
Jonah has found an activity that he can take part in
and call “his own”. He has never been able to
participate with his siblings in scouts, church, and
sports and trying to explain to him why has left me
in tears more than once. The pride Jonah feels in
his accomplishments through Dream Riders, as well as
the physical benefits of increased stamina, improved
coordination and balance have been nothing short of
amazing. Watching him gather his gear (vest, helmet
and of course BOOTS) each week prior to his ride has
taught me that every child, regardless of abilities,
wants something of their own. Every child deserves
that. Thank you Dream Riders for allowing Jonah this
opportunity.

Dream Riders of Kentucky, Inc. is a
“circle of hearts.” It’s the give and take between four
components: the riders, the horses, the volunteers and the
community. Without any one of these components, the circle
is incomplete. Aside from the true therapeutic benefits that
the riders gain, the volunteers, the horses and the
community are rewarded by being a part of this noteworthy
program. |
