Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Spring Therapeutic Riding Session had to be canceled, as were our Fun with Horses Day Camps. We were able, though, the hold a 4-week Mini-Session from late May into June for returning students who met a specific criteria.

We are currently in Phase Two of our reopening – our 8-Week Fall Session – which began September 3rd, and are registering students for our 10-Week Spring Session which will begin March 22, 2021.

Read more about our therapeutic services on the Programs page where you can download the Spring Session flyer. Contact us for more information or for a registration packet.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our March and July Bingo Fundraisers were both canceled. Our next Vera Bradley & Thirty-One Bingo Fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th at John Enders Fire Company Social Hall in Boyce, VA. We will be updating our Events page and Facebook page with details and ticket information. Meanwhile, we have been meeting the challenge of raising needed funds by holding online fundraisers and providing other opportunities for people to support our therapy horses such as being able to donate directly to our feed store accounts. Check out our Donations page to learn more about this and other opportunities.
