Rainy Day Lesson with Manny
Adaptive riding participant, Manny, didn't let a little summer thunderstorm dampen his lesson last week! Manny and his instructor Rylee enjoyed chalk drawing on some of our therapy horses' stalls for a little extra creativity and smiles. Shiloh absolutely loved his colorful new mural to brighten up his space!
