InStride Therapy Introduces The Conditioning Team

Coconut Telegraph

InStride is a non-profit community foundation dedicated to helping people with physical disabilities through horseback riding. The horses at the facility are gentle mannered and need lots of care to ensure they can facilitate therapy to those in need.  With the help of a long time donor and friend of InStride, the opportunity for volunteer training (Horses Helping Humans Workshop) through Chris Cook, Founder and CEO of  B-C Foundation Station/Wild Horsemanship Center led to the creation of The Conditioning Team. Three volunteers strong at the moment, Mary Ann, Melanie, and Glenda perform different exercises with the horses to keep them connecting to them as leaders as well as offering something different from their usual working routine. It is important for the horses to own their responsibilities and be willing participants. If you would like to contribute to the foundation donations are welcomed but horses Peanut, Grace, and Little Red are in need of sponsors!
