Our Equine Partners and the Human Clients They Serve
Your donations help pay for all aspects of upkeep for the horses and help clients who need scholarships.
SVTRC currently maintains a team of two horses. Both are on loan to SVTRC. Their health and happiness are important and integral to the success of the program. The total cost of caring for each horse is $10,000.00 per year.
Many clients, young and old, who benefit from SVTRC's programs cannot afford the full cost of lessons. Donations from generous supporters help us subsidize lesson costs--sometimes paying for clients' lessons in full!

Our Staff
Donations help with everyday expenses like staff salaries and office space rent and vet bills. Amber Thibodeau (left) joined the SVTRC team in 2015. She currently manages all aspects of the program, including teaching lessons. She is received her PATH Int'l. Registered Instructor Certification in 2017. Amber has a lifetime of experience working with horses, and experience both in teaching and administrative duties. Amber facilitated the transition from our first home at Winchester Stables, to our current home at Brookside Stables. None of this would be possible without our staff!! |
