4th Annual Giant Steps Junior Relay

Hello! Myself and my friend Avery Schoen are raising money to benefit Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center located in Petaluma, California. Giant Steps is a nonprofit organization providing the physically and mentally disabled with the opportunity to ride horses. Our goal is to raise money for the program and to compete in the Giant Steps Junior Relay at the Giant Steps Charity Classic Horse Show held at Sonoma Horse Park. It is a wonderful organization that provides a great service to the Bay Area community.

About Giant Steps: Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center was founded in 1998, and is based on the belief that caring for and riding horses can be a powerful and life-changing tool for healing individuals with physical, emotional, and developmental challenges. It is our mission to enrich and change the lives of children (and adults) with disabilities through the extraordinary benefits of therapeutic riding and related equine-assisted therapy. Our long-term goal is to improve the health outcomes of Bay Area children and adults with disabilities by providing them with affordable, effective and safe equine-based therapeutic services. It is our promise to never turn away a rider because of lack of means. Learn more at www.giantstepsriding.org
