I just got back from volunteering with Simple Changes, a therapeutic horseback riding program.  We went 30 minutes south of DC into Virginia where the most beautiful land was.  I was extremely impressed with the stables, the arenas, and the trails they owned.  I started out early this morning and got back at 1 p.m.  It was extremely hot even though it was cloudy and overcast.  It was good that we stayed inside.

I was glad to be able to volunteer with the program and work with the children.  They get so much out of riding.  I have worked with children with special needs a lot but with school and work I have not been able to in a long time.  It is such a rewarding experience that not many people are exposed to. 

Here are some photos of my experience:

How wonderful that you took time out of your busy schedule to volunteer at the therapeutic riding school! Thank you for taking time to take photos and posting them in your blog, too!
