Scheduling Sessions

Session time is right around the corner and there has been some confusion about the scheduling process this year. As you can imagine, the need is great so we are always challenged with how to do the scheduling fairly. Over the years, we have tried several ways of doing this. We thank you for your grace as we know this can be frustrating when trying to get your child scheduled.

I would like to clarify what goes into the scheduling process. The amount of sessions available each month is based on how many horses and how many volunteers we have available. In April we focus on volunteer training and scheduling for sessions beginning in May. We first schedule the volunteers and then see how many sessions we can offer every week. Once the volunteers have been scheduled, we refer to both the preseason signup list (offered in the fall of every year) and the waiting list of children who were not able to participate the previous year. We also need to take into consideration children with the greatest need and/or those through referral networks.

Please keep in mind this is a mentoring program ministry that utilizes horses for healing. We are open to all children, regardless of circumstance but we are not a horse back riding program.

We would like all children to have the opportunity to participate but the reality is that horses are so awesome that everyone would like to be with them ( ; We promise to do our best to provide as many sessions as is safely possible with the help and resources that we have. If you would like your child added to the list, please email Marisa at reesyhone77@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding.
