RISE Horse Back Riding is collaborating with White Bridle Humane Society.

RISE Horse Back Riding is collaborating with White Bridle Humane Society to build an ongoing therapeutic program. White Bridle Humane Society is embarking on an equine recreation program with their miniature horses.  We believe that the scale of the horses is right for kids, and their program pair’s volunteer kids with challenged kids and miniature horses to complete obstacle courses. Cart driving with the minis will also be offered for kids with mobility limitations. Adult programs are also in the works. We have the horses and equipment but need grazing land and folks to get involved to help build this program. If you are interested in helping or joining the committee to help get this program set up please contact Paul Gray at pgray@riseadventures.org or 469.762.5075.

Major Corporate Update

I founded RISE Adventures, Inc. on March 22, 2007 with the support of Steve Carlson. I am asked a lot of questions from our constituency about the overall status of RISE. As we approach our second birthday I felt it was important to provide a current corporate update. Transparency is important for all non-profit charitable organizations.
