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 serves as the only employee at SVTRC and manages all aspects of the program, including teaching lessons. She is actively pursuing her PATH Int'l. Registered Instructor Certification. 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!! |
Lorna Young (left) was the Program Director at SVTRC and the only full-time member of staff from SVTRC's inception in 2010 to 2016. Lorna graduated from, and then went on to teach at, Cheff Therapeutic Riding Center in Agusta, Michigan. In 1995 she obtained her PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) Advanced Therapeutic Riding Instructor Certification. Lorna was instrumental in setting up the program at SVTRC and managed the horses and programs, schedules and taught lessons, coordinated volunteers, managed the office, worked on fund raising and just about every other function necessary to keep SVTRC running.
