Moira began riding at Spirit Horse when she was just 2 years old, in the spring of 2004.  Her therapists thought it would be a fun and beneficial way to improve Moira's motor and speech development and address some of her sensory issues.  Moira fell in love with her pony and we've been in love with the amazing progress we've seen as she rides.  While always courageous in how she faces her challenges, Moira is unstoppable when working with her pony and the wonderful instructors at Spirit Horse.  We've been blessed to work with Spirit Horse for over 3 years now and are grateful for any chance to help give back.  By supporting Spirit Horse, we know Moira and other children are being given a chance to reach their full potential.  Thank you!!

Moira is now taking the next step in making great strides…she 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 for more information on this event! 

SpiritHorse Therapeutic Center is a nonprofit organization that gives therapeutic 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  

Moira and some of her 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 Moira’s ride for, and even write a personal message to her!

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
