Braveheart
Therapeutic
Riding
Center
is
a
501(C)3
not-for-profit
association
offering
horseback
riding
lessons
to
people
with
physical,
emotional,
mental
and/or
social
difficulties.
The
Center
began
giving
lessons
in
July,
1998
with
11
students
ranging
in
age
from
3
to
38.
Individual
lessons
are
provided
to
a
wide
range
of
riders
encouraging
them
to
learn
more
skills
while
having
fun.
A
Board
of
Directors
leads
the
Braveheart
Therapeutic
Riding
Center
making
decisions
regarding
every
aspect
of
the
program.
The
instructors,
Board
members
and
everyone
else
associated
with
Braveheart
are
all
volunteers.
Many
people
have
spent
countless
hours
volunteering
or
instructing
the
lessons
during
the
spring,
summer
and
fall
sessions.
Braveheart
began
lessons
at
a
"borrowed
barn"
with
"borrowed
horses"
and
"borrowed
tack".
We
have
been
blessed
through
the
years
by
the
generosity
of
many
people
as
we
moved
to
several
different
barns.
However,
in
August
2002,
Braveheart
began
having
lessons
at
our
own
barn
with
our
own
horses
and
our
own
tack.
We
continue
to
make
improvements
and
enjoy
our
own
home.
