Red River Riders Therapeutic Horseback Riding for the Disabled Inc. was established in 1985, and is located in Shawano, WI. Over the years it has grown to 12 horses, 50 riders and over 85 volunteers. Red River Riders helps people with various disabilities, and ages between 3 to 75 years. Riders come from Shawano County and surrounding areas. Our riders show improved coordination, balance, flexibility, and muscle strength. While learning the skills of horsemanship, our riders gain self-esteem, improved attention spans, and ability to follow directions. These qualities carry over to their daily lives. In addition, interacting with the horses gives a boost in spirit that is immeasurable for riders and volunteers alike. Our organization is 100% supported by donations, fundraisers, and volunteers. Thank you in advance for your support. Last year’s event was a success. Because of the generosity of all who supported and attended this event, we were able to maintain low cost therapy riding fees for another year. We were also able to pay off a large portion of the loan to insulate the indoor arena, which allowed us to extend our riding season with another 6 week session, as well as keeping everyone from freezing! If you cannot donate this year please think about attending our event. Last year’s was a blast and this year it is sure to match-up! We hope to see you March 24th at the 6th Annual Red River Riders Day at the Races for a day of fun and fundraising! Tickets go on sale February 29, 2012. |
