The Equicizer is a custom-built handmade mechanical horse used for jockey training and therapy. It moves and simulates the motion of riding, powered by the rider’s movement. It is a great workout and a lot [...]

“I knew [Project R.I.D.E.] meant a lot to my daughter and she always looked forward to it but when I just plain forgot to take her to her lesson last Friday, I really understood the impact of her not going. She was so upset when I missed that day and she gave the school [...]

The kids always look forward to coming to Project R.I.D.E., and without the volunteers, they would not be able to come and ride the horses.

I loved volunteering with Project R.I.D.E. I enjoyed working with each child, and everyone was very nice to work with. It’s great to see the growth within each child when they come here and to know that I had some part in it.

It was a very rewarding experience, I enjoyed each and every day and I met many new friendly people. Most of all I saw the growth of the students over the weeks and the excitement in their eyes when they arrived. It was priceless.

I would like to thank you for the opportunity you have given me with Project R.I.D.E. Friday afternoons are something I look forward to. Not only do I get to help out with several volunteers who are as enthusiastic as I am, but the kids are amazing! I haven’t had this much fun in [...]
