Freedom Riders sent them to me- my camera never took good pictures in the riding arena, so I'm in love with these.
I found these in my mailbox just a few days after I heard the horrible news that Freedom Riders is closing their doors. They are a non-profit and can't carry on with the economy being how it is- no one is able to make the same sort of donations they have in the past. They have been a part of our area since 1984- being the longest running therapeutic horseback riding center in Maine. They have been a part of our lives for just two years, but I surely treasure that short time. Brian loved his sessions and it was an activity he could truly participate in and feel accomplished and proud of.
Rumor has it they may reopen in a year or two, as a for-profit organization. I surely hope the rumor mill is correct on this one.

That is so sad....so many worthwhile programs and organizations are going down the drain in this economy. Audrey has one more horseback riding session before they close for the winter...she loves it beyond all reason! I love that huggy thing they do...I'm sure it serves some purpose, but I just think it looks cute. Awesome pics! I haven't gotten good ones either, but there was a person from the park district taking pictures last time so I might try to crib some from her!
What a bummer about the program....but fantastic photos! Those are framers, for sure!!
