One of the wonderful organizations we have in the Wenatchee area is the Alatheia Riding Center. Alatheia is a therapeutic riding center for those with special needs. It was opened in 2011 and has been providing life-changing experiences for children with physical, emotional and/or mental challenges ever since.
I encourage you to peruse their wonderful website. Be sure not to miss the heartwarming rider stories . I have a friend whose grandson has Downs Syndrome and he loves his time at Alatheia each week.
I had tears in my eyes as I watched the video. It is only 3 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it too!
These riding centers do incredible work with people with special needs, be they physical or mental, Carol. A wonderful cause to spotlight.

Hi Carol Williams - Horses are more sensitive and can pick up on our energy. They have a wonderful calming nature for those who really need it. I highly recommend their therapeutic medicine.

Hi Nina Hollander ,
I did not realize there were so many of these therapeutic riding facilities until I started doing a little research. It's amazing. I so admire these folks.

Hi James Dray ,
These are special people who dedicate their lives to this cause.
That's very true, Sally K. & David L. Hanson . It is wonderful to have such facilities available.
Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® ,
I've never been a horse person but they do seem to have some sort of magic in them.
I love programs that feature the opportunity for handicaped children and adults to participate in activities we wouldn't normally think of. I'm glad someone did.

Hi Sharon Tara ,
Thank you for watching the video. I just read in the paper yesterday that Aletheia is adding a program for military vets with PTSD. How cool is that?
