Candy, a 9-year-old Haflinger mare with therapeutic riding experience, joined the barn in mid-October. She was donated to the program by a couple in New York state. Around the same time, Diane Wollter, certified therapeutic riding instructor, joined the staff at Sunshine to oversee the program’s start-up. Most recently, Josie, a Norwegian Fjord, and her longtime stable mate Snoot, a potbellied pig, joined the riding center along with Princess, a draft horse and Easy Boy, an Appaloosa. Therapeutic riding has been a long-time dream for the staff and residents at Sunshine. Thanks to many generous donors, including lead donors GEM Inc. and the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, construction of the barn was fully funded. Recently, Sunshine received the good news that it would be receiving a grant of $50,000 from the O-I Charities Foundation to cover operating costs for the first year. Sunshine is grateful to all the individuals, foundations and corporate sponsors who have brought us to this point. More help will be needed in the future as we begin riding. At this time we are not in need of horses or any other donated animals. What we do need is volunteer side walkers, people who will walk alongside the horse and allow for safe riding. No previous experience is necessary. Also, continued donations will be needed to cover future operational costs. To volunteer to help with the program, contact Diane at 419-865-0251 x3542 or to learn more about giving opportunities call Douglas Siebenaler at 419-794-1393.
