DID YOU KNOW that a healthy horse will produce about 9-11 gallons of saliva every day. There's not a bib around that could handle that!

We are currently looking to add a few members to our Advisory Council. You don't need to know anything about horses. What matters most is a willingness to share your time, ideas, and enthusiasm for helping our program continue to serve riders in our community.

Advisory Council members help provide guidance, support fundraising efforts, build community connections, and contribute to the continued growth and sustainability of our program.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference behind the scenes, we'd love to talk with you about this opportunity.

Please send us a message or contact us for more information. ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’™

Together, we can help ensure the Franklin County 4-H Therapeutic Riding Center continues to thrive for years to come.
