Riding lessons used as a therapeutic tool

you first see them in the
riding ring, concentrating on
their form, they look like any
other group of youths
learning to ride. Their in
structor stands in the center,
telling them how to sit up
straight, put their heels
down, and look straight
ahead.
But on second glance, a
person will notice that these
ROJ-PREMX
riders are concentrating
harder, and are very intend
on what they are doing. The
young equestrians are
learning to ride through a
project of the Easter Seals
Society.
Now that Spring is here,
each week the Easter Seals
Society sends out interested
youth to the Hidden Acres
Farm, owned by Mr. and
Mrs. George Hassler HI.

'But many helpers are
needed for the project for the
riders need assistance as
they learn to mount, ride,
and guide their horses. And
parents couldn’t fill this role,.
for many of them know no
more of how to handle a
horse than their youngsters.
So the Rough Riders 4-K
Club, headed by leader Mrs.
Mimi Rohrer, has taken on
the job of being assistants
for the riding class. Mrs.
Carol Henkel acts as riding
instructor. The riders are
taught the equestrian skills,
