Help Jake Ride for EE

Hello everyone!  As many of you know Jake has been riding at Exceptional Equestrians  since he was 7. He took a few years off and decided he wanted to start back up again. It was the best thing we ever did for him. At that time he had a lot of struggles going on and was having a lot of behavior issues.  The family was at wits end not knowing how we could help him. We had tried so many different avenues and they had all failed.  Once Jake decided he wanted to go back and ride we noticed big changes in him.  He started  riding and rode his favorite Big Mac. After riding, he decided he wanted to volunteer and spent all his available time at the barn which included his summers.  The horses and staff had such a big impact on him and he was even able to go to half days at school and volunteer the other half.  At EE, Jake was able to help out others and quickly learned how to take care of the horses.  Best of all the behaviors were under control and he was staying out of trouble. Today Jake is a 20 yr old and has graduated from high school. His love for EE,  the horses, staff and clients has not changed. Jake is a rider and staff, barn aide, at the barn.  He  also still volunteers.  He knows everyone at the barn and is always willing to help anyone staff, clients, and volunteers,  He rides his favorite Clydesdale Mach. Looking back at those earlier years makes me so thankful that EE was here for him. I am so proud at how far he has come.

All proceeds from the Ride-a thon will go to EE to help take care of the horses daily care. (grain, hay, vet care, etc...) and the facility.

Thank you so much!!!!
