"This new component will be in addition to the Therapeutic Riding and job-readiness skills we are already providing. We began implementing this program five years ago, and we are very excited to off this additional component."The first race horse, Goodman's Girl, arrived in October, the second, El Frio, arrived last week. They are beautiful, horses with serious injuries. Their recuperation will be time and labor intensive. Special Equestrians has received scholarships for the children in the Youth Connections Program, but the horses are still in need of sponsorship.
