Chuck was a therapeutic riding instructor for the Franklin County 4-H Therapeutic Riding Center for several years. He was dearly loved by all of his students. Chuck worked with such passion and inspiration that the teenagers who were doing community service looked up to him with great respect. He was a real cowboy and brought joy and enthusiasm to our program. He will be missed.

Sincerely,

Susan Rotz

Calling all students, parents, volunteers and TRC members!

We will be shouting out some of those who have made an impact on the TRC this year and need your help! Is there someone that you think deserves a special shoutout? Maybe an instructor who makes every lesson fun, a volunteer whoโ€™s helped you learn a thing or two, or a horse who has been extra patient. Send us a message and tell us who youโ€™d like to recognize (bonus points if you also share a photo!) and we will share your kind words about them. Help us share the love this holiday season!
