Horsefeathers Therapeutic Riding, NFP
Breathe Deep, Seek Peace, Ride Hard
"I like trotting and going fast, it's exhilarating. The people at Horsefeathers are loving and caring souls."
"I love horseback riding. These big, gentle animals are my friends. They know my scent and they know my voice when I call their names. Riding on Ice, Poco and Tia makes me happy. I like to brush them and give them treats like peppermints. I have been riding since I was 12. I hope I can ride for a long, long time."
"I love all the horses."
"Horseback riding so much fun. Good day. I like to trot-trot-trot and go fast."
"Riding has opened me up and I'm not as scared. It has helped my balance a lot, and I am more positive about myself."
"I like trotting - bouncy trot and up down trot"
"Riding has helped strengthen the trunk. She's like a jack-in-the-box, she now has the strength to sit up and stay up under her own power, which she could not do before. She really enjoys riding too."
"Horsefeathers is such a joyous place, getting up in the morning knowing you're going to be with horses is what I've wanted to do all my life - a dream come true!"
"My favorite thing is up & downs at the trot. Big Red is my favorite horse because he was dressed up as a pirate for Halloween & he is stubborn like me."
"I like trotting because of how fast it is. I love the feeling of how tall I am on a horse. Ice and Poco are my favorites."
"I like riding fast!"
"I like trotting the very best because I'm doing something instead of sitting. I feel like I am able-bodied and free."
"I like to trot-trot because it's bouncy and it makes me happy!"
"My favorite thing to do is trot, because it's fast!"
"I like trot-trot because it's fast and I like up-downs!"
"Volunteering with Nick and the horses doing therapeutic riding has been the love of my life for almost 10 years. Working with the crew at Horsefeathers --- four-footed and two-footed alike --- is as therapeutic for me as for any of our riders."
"I like trotting and Tia the horse is my favorite."
"I like cantering because I'm getting really good at it and stronger. I like circling around corners, it is much fun, and I sometimes like to do it at the trot"
"Riding has greatly improved my son's hand-eye coordination and balance. Because of this, he is now able to ride a bike and play video games, things that every little boy his age should be able to do."
“Riding is number 1, not number 2.”
"I like riding Elsie because we get along so well together."
