Ride With Pride

10/30/2024

Today we honor National Disability Employee Awareness Month, recognizing the contributions of those like my Aunt Janet and others. In life, you can choose to be victorious whatever challenges lie ahead, which leads us to our quote of the day: The difference between try and triumph is a little “umph”🤘

We may be biased but we think the RWP horses are the BEST!!! It was fun to hear our Gala guests share stories about their favorites. 🥰

We could never pick a favorite- how about you?? Which RWP horse has touched your life? ❤️

What a wonderful time we had at our Totally 80s Hollywood Gala last night! 🎉

A big thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate 35 years of Ride With Pride Therapeutic Horsemanship and show support for our work!

We enjoyed a wonderful meal, lots of laughs, and very inspiring stories.

Thank you to our sponsors- Valley’s CMA Dealership (Event Sponsor), Timberlake Smith (Blockbuster Sponsor), Virginia Eagle Distributing (Beer Sponsor), and Hazy Mountain Vineyards (Wine Sponsor).

Thank you to the Best Western Plus Waynesboro Inn & Suites Conference Center for being a terrific host and to Simple Elegance Catering for the delicious meal! Thank you to Mark Craig, our auctioneer, for donating his services and to Doug and Donna Riley for donating their time as DJs (and line dance coaches 😉).

Thank you to all of our attendees- we are honored you spent the evening with us to support Ride With Pride Therapeutic Horsemanship! ❤️

Exciting news! After some discussion, we have decided to extend the registration deadline for the Gala! I know there are still people wanting to attend, and we all understand how time gets away from one and we lose track! Plus, a Holiday weekend! So, we are extending the deadline. Yes, you can STILL REGISTER for this wonderful evening. Please hurry, though, as we are not sure when we will need to close the registrations!
