Dear Friend, PARD Therapeutic Riding has been an integral part of the Peterborough community since 1983. Our mission is to provide therapeutic horseback riding experiences that benefit individuals physically, socially, and psychologically, regardless of their age or abilities. The impact of our program is evident through the heartfelt testimonials from families and caregivers who have witnessed the positive changes in their loved ones. Imagine the joy and empowerment our riders feel as they transition from a wheelchair to riding atop a horse! Our dedicated volunteers echo these sentiments, sharing stories of personal growth and transformation. However, maintaining our program requires significant resources, with annual operating costs exceeding $50,000. We rely on enthusiastic volunteers who tirelessly fundraise throughout the year, but we also need the support of generous individuals, organizations, and businesses in our community—like yours! Your sponsorship will help us continue to offer these life-changing experiences. We invite you to join us in making a profound difference in the lives of our riders. Warm Regards, Gemma Wood, Chair
