A Home for Handicapped Riders

continued

Vescelius points out that services for many handicapped children are paid for by a parent's medical benefits. When parents are laid off, "their children are losing some of their treatments--and in many cases, therapeutic riding is the only thing they have left. Unless their parents have a lot of money put away, we've become even more important in a lot of lives."
