A program that uses horses to help mentally, physically, and emotionally-challenged youth is ready for the riding season. Soaring Hope is a faith-based non-profit that uses horse therapy to help at risk and disabled children. Clients include children with autism and spina bifida, and a boy who was run over by a car at the age of three.

Soaring Hope is located four miles east of Riverside Road on Highway 169 South. The non-profit depends on volunteers and is looking for more, as well as donations. For more information go to http://soaringhope.net/index.html.
