Kearnan is 7 years old.  He was diagnosed with PDD NOS, SID and Speech Delay at age 3.  He is a little comedian who loves pirates, dogs, horses, video games and his little brother (most of the time).  It has been a long road but Kearnan is a hard worker and has been making great strides.  He has been riding at SpiritHorse for 2 years and loves his instuctor and the horses.  Being on a horse makes him feel like a super hero.  He says 'on this horse I'm so tall.  I'm even taller than Uncle Graham.' 

 

Kearnan is now taking the next step in making great strides…he is riding in the SpiritHorse Ride for Strides 2008 Achiever’s Ride!  The SpiritHorse Ride for Strides is a ride-a-thon, which works just like a walk-a-thon, but on horses!  Riders will come from all around to raise money for SpiritHorse Therapeutic Center by riding to earn money at the LBJ Grasslands in Decatur, TX on October 11, 2008!   Please visit www.rideforstrides.org to get more information on this event! 

SpiritHorse Therapeutic Center is a nonprofit organization that gives horseback riding lessons to children and adults in need.  SpiritHorse is completely free of charge and relies a great deal on fundraisers and individual donations.  For more information, please visit www.spirithorsetherapy.com  

Kearnan and some of his fellow riders will be riding in the Achiever’s Ride, which will be a pre-designed pattern and games in order to raise money in their own ride for the event!  This website is so easy to use!  Just hit “Sponsor Me Now” at the bottom of this page and you’re ready to help!  You will be able to choose the amount you would like to sponsor Kearnan’s ride for, and even write a personal message to him!
