of volunteers who are available to assist with riders and horses, as well as
donations received. This year over forty riders are waiting for the opportunity
to participate in the program.
“Over the years we have built a dedicated core-family of volunteers
who commit their time to our program,” said Debbie Endlich, president of
FC4HTRP. “However, each year additional volunteers are needed to assist
with the horses, students, marketing and fundraising. Together we are able to
offer our riders weekly 45-minute rides during the spring and fall sessions.”
The FC4HTRP provides a recreational experience and therapeutic regimen
to Frederick County citizens with medically certified mental, physical, and
emotional disabilities. Riders must submit physician, therapist and teacher
information about their condition before beginning the program. FC4HTRP
therapists and instructors review the riders’ medical history and develop a
personalized program for each student, in collaboration with his/her physician,
therapist, teacher/employer, riding instructor and family members.
