CARD - Therapeutic Riding Programs

Wonderful organization that runs a therapeutic riding program
http://www.card.ca
I was recently told about a great organization that runs a therapeutic riding program. They do such great work.
I felt it better to use their own words to describe what they do so the below information describes what they do.
I thought in my small way I'd pass it on in hopes that they can gain some more support

Their contact information:

Phone: 416-667-8600

Postal address:
4777 Dufferin Street,
North York, Ontario, Canada
M3H 5T3


"The Community Association for Riding for the Disabled is dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults with disabilities through quality therapeutic riding programs. For almost 40 years, CARD’s therapeutic riding programs have had a direct and positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and adults with disabilities. Founded in 1969, CARD (the Community Association for Riding for the Disabled) was the first therapeutic riding centre in Canada. Today, CARD works with specially trained physiotherapists, equine experts, 19 therapy horses and more than 350 volunteers to help more than 500 children and adults with disabilities a year gain greater physical, cognitive, psychological and social skills. CARD is 100% self-funded through public grants, private donation and fundraising events"

Check out their website and consider supporting them with either a little time or money.
