“Genevieve has a rare form of epilepsy and suffers hundreds of seizures daily. Attending school and making play dates are impossible for her. When she first started riding, after 10 minutes she was completely exhausted. Now she rides the full half-hour and then runs out to the car! Genevieve is a perfect example of a rider for whom horse therapy has given her success where traditional therapies failed. She has made physical improvements beyond all expectations and riding has allowed her to be a normal kid doing kid things.” —Emily Z., Genevieve’s mother
