Riding for Success - Therapeutic Riding Program

A quick reminder- Tuesday night lessons start at 4:30. We will need help earlier at 4:00 since the riders will be tacking up their own horses at 4:15 pm.

Classes start tonight at 4 pm!
I can’t wait to see everyone there 😊

Please check your GroupMe app. There are 2 polls:

Thank you to everyone who came out to help clean up the barn!!!

I was honored to be a guest speaker at the Muscatine Kiwanis Club. Kiwanis is an amazing program. I encourage everyone to check check out their page and see the impact they bring to children.

Katie (Schaapveld) Yakle, Program Director with Riding For Success, was the presenter at our July 21st meeting. She joined the organization this past fall and her background, experience and education in working with horses and in the health care field is an excellent fit with unique therapeutic riding program. Some of the positive outcomes she described in working with children and handicapped individuals is amazing. Riding For Success is based at the Ag Learning Center at 3200 Lucas Street in Muscatine.
