Therapeutic horseback riding with the SPIRIT Team has been one of the greatest things to happen to our post-renal transplant, six-year-old son. There are not enough superlatives to adequately describe how positive it has been for him in a life otherwise filled with medical and learning challenges. All of the highly capable instructors’ hearts are in the right place, and they all just really “get it”. The best image I can give you is on the days when we tell Nate he has a horseback riding lesson, he smiles a wide toothless grin and shouts, “Yes!” Thanks to Dada and her Team. We wish them only the very best.
Our impact this year has changed our community!
