Adaptive riding lessons at Ride for Joy is truly the highlight of Dashiell’s week. The instructors and volunteers provide a safe and positive learning environment, while also emphasizing good listening skills, following multi-step instructions, and having fun!
Seeing the connection Dashiell has with horses is something I would never have imagined, but it’s a beautiful thing to see.
