Sponsor the Dream
It has been Riders Unlimited's goal to purchase our own facility for all program operations. We have purchased a facility that will give Riders Unlimited a permanent base of operations. A place we can finally call HOME. As of 2/15/12, we have raised $60,195 which is approximately 20% of our total goal of $300,000 (Purchase costs, repairs & modifications).
Having our own facility will help us:
•
improve and grow our Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies program;
•expand the Able-Bodied program;
•be more accessible to the Sandusky Veterans Home to begin the VET program;
•meet ADA specifications and NARHA accreditation standards;
•potentially begin new programs through driving, vaulting, and hippotherapy;
•provide us with greater community outreach opportunities through school and vocational training
programs, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and 4H/FFA;
•give us greater independence;
•and provide us with stability for the future.
