riding program for both abled and
disabled riders
Director Dr. Kari Ann Owen is
a certified therapeutic riding
instructor. Wildhorse! is
vendorized through the Regional Center
of the East Bay. They teach both English and Western riding,
and can bring students up to the advanced level in
both

anyone away for lack of funds.

always needed, and mentoring is provided upon
request for both
volunteers and persons interested in becoming
