RISE Wilroads receives $10,000 grant from the Community Foundation

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.
