MS Society Sponsors Riders at Windrush
A new collaboration has flourished between Windrush Farm and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The MS Society has generously sponsored a group of individuals with MS to participate at Windrush Farm. Here's what Cindy, a particpant had to say in a thank you letter sent to Sarah, MS Program Director...
Hello Sarah,
I am writing to thank you and the MS Society for having sponsored my participation in the therapeutic horseback riding course at Windrush Farm. I absolutely loved it!
It was quite a thrill to be doing something that I normally would have considered "off limits" due to my MS. The instructors and staff there are incredibly capable, caring and committed, providing the best experience possible for all participants. For me, this course has been both empowering and fulfilling, in addition to being great for my overall balance.
Again, thank you!
P.S. Here are some photos which I took at Windrush; I thought you might enjoy them!
