Therapy on horseback

The story: After she found that her autistic son Caleb benefited therapeutically from riding horses, Clemons started Harmony Ranch to help other children with disabilities.

Three years ago, Diana Clemons opened Harmony Ranch in Rathdrum, Idaho with the goal of turning it into a therapeutic riding facility. Today, she’s got a handful of gentle horses, and a big indoor riding arena – and a waiting list of children and youth eager to get their turn in the saddle.

This is a beautiful story of compassion for others. It's so inspirational when animals and humans relate and help each other. I would like to see more stories like this in the news. I am also inspired by people like Diana who see a need and take action. One thing missing though is contact info for people who might like to volunteer to help. Great story!

I loved the story. We need more people in this world who provide a service for our children with special needs. There are so many positive things that come with a chance to explore new horizons. I would like to know where donations can be sent and how to get in touch with Harmony Ranch to help in some way.
