I read about a program similar to this in Reader's Digest. I wish there were more such programs, working with people that need skills and encouragement in their life.

My mom used to ride before she and my dad were married. I never got into it. I'd rather stay behind and pet the barn cats! I don't like to watch horse racing, but I like to see horses in fields and pastures.
