“We ride….So they can ride too!”Help us help children and adults living with disabilities experience the proven benefits of therapeutic horseback riding! Manes & Motions is a not-for-profit organization, affiliated with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA). New Britain Mayor Tim Stewart will lead the pack. The ride is scheduled to leave from Hospital for Special Care’s Research & Education Center 370 Osgood Ave, New Britain and end at the Middletown Elks Club, 44 Maynard Street.
v Rain or Shine! For one hour, one day per week, because of Manes & Motions, its magical people and its magical program, children and adults living with the daily challenges of disabilities like Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down Syndrome, and other neurological, muscular, and sensory deficits are able to transcend their disabilities. For one hour for one day each week, our children and adults have the freedom to enjoy the love of horses, horseback riding, and equestrian related activities. For one hour, for one day each week our Manes & Motions children and adults are able to mount their steed, dignified and proud, a smile beaming as wide as the state of Connecticut, and shed the cloak of their daily challenges and disabilities. For one hour, one day each week, this can be possible because of YOU. It is possible because of your participation in our Second Annual Charity Motorcycle Ride, "The Freedom Ride"....we ride so they can ride too! It is because of you and your participation and support of our event and our of our program that Freedom, the freedom of one hour one day of week therapeutic riding, truly does rein. For this, as a mother of a Manes & Motions rider representing so many others, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your consideration. Don't ride? Don't worry! * Come join the food and fun at the end of our ride at the Middletown BPOE Elks. Teresa Acampora "A life is not important except in the impact it has on others." |
