” I have volunteered at RVR for about ten years, and it is my absolute favorite summer activity. The progress that each rider makes is huge! The therapeutic benefits of horseback riding are proven and wide-ranging. It improves riders' confidence, strength, flexibility, and self-esteem, just to name a few! ” Mary Willis

” Our daughter has been involved with RVR since its infancy-some 13 years. When asked what she does in her free time, the first thing she mentions is horseback riding. She has developed independence, overcome early shyness and fears of trying something new, but that pales when compared to just plain having fun and laughing. She even considers several of the volunteers at RVR personal friends. ” Dawn and Mike McLaughlin
