Bringing About Change
“I have been involved with RVR since 1999 and have had the opportunity to work with all involved: horses, riders, families of participants, volunteers, instructors and board members. Even after 25 years, it is absolutely amazing to me just how much EVERYONE benefits from being involved in the program. ”
