A sincere thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated to and helped with our Annual Silent Auction and Spaghetti Dinner last Saturday. It was our biggest and best one yet. We appreciate our community’s support for our program. Funds raised from this event will help us to continue to provide a safe, fun, therapeutic horseback riding and learning experience for our students.

This is Silver. Yes he is beautiful. But Silver is so much more. He is a veteran therapy horse. He is trustworthy, patient and kind. Silver is why we have our big fundraiser on the last Saturday of October every year. This Saturday is our Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction. Please join us to raise money to support our herd of outstanding equines who selflessly work to provide safe, fun and therapeutic experiences for our 49 riders. We are an all volunteer 501c3 organization. All are welcome. Dinner starts at 4:30. We have a HUGE (516 lots) inventory of donated goods and services from local businesses to offer. We also have 2 vacation raffles and live music. Please join us at the Lewistown Firehall. We have something for everyone.
