RISE WIlroads Gardens recently was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas. The grant will be used to continue Horse Therapy groups. Alongside Urban Riding Academy students will work once a week working with horses. The program focuses on introducing a safe environment for all students and animals at all times. The students learn to properly care, lead, and ride while being supervised. The program helps students express self-control and to be accountable for their actions. The program runs in two 9 week periods, with the next starting in March 2023. (Story submitted by Matt Legg, RISE Principal)
