Freedom Hooves, Therapeutic Riding Looking for Board Members

Freedom Hooves, Therapeutic Riding of NW Colorado, is looking for people interested in serving on their Board of Directors. Interested individuals should send a letter stating why you wish to serve and what you can bring to the board

In the pilot phase, Freedom Hooves aims to help those with physical or mental challenges. Students are involved with the horse from start to finish, preparing it to ride and, when finished, getting the horse ready to go back to its stall. Students also learn about the body parts of the horse, placing stars with their names in appropriate places. There are lots of people that have various special needs, and horses are well known for therapy. Currently, the program is limited to treating certain physical and mental challenges. The group is looking for funding and volunteers, so they can build their own facility with capabilities to treat anyone with mental or physical disabilities.
