Generous public support through this GlobalGiving Platform enables us to reach out to Veteran's Service Organizations to collaborate in bringing more people the benefits of horse interactions! Tomorrow begins our work with Team RWB (Team Red White and Blue, Manchester NH chapter).

Open Meeting & Team Building

12:00 PM - 04:00 PM EDT

334 College Hill Rd (BITS Equine Therapy Center), Hopkinton, NH 03229

We are proud to be in the process of building a relationship with this fantastic Equine Therapy Center to be a part of their RideUP program in the future. We have asked to hold our 3rd quarter open leadership meeting at the Center so we can utilize the team building skills and ideas they have for their clients to help us in Team RWB Manchester. And, so that our members can get the opportunity to see all of the different options the Center has to offer.

Here is the breakdown of the day:

12:00-1:30 Team Building Exercise

1:30-3:00 Leadership Meeting. Lunch will be provided! If the weather has cooperated, we may be able to eat outside near their Heart shaped pond

3:00-4:00 Service Work for the Center to thank them for hosting us for the afternoon

Please wear boots or sneakers that are sturdy for your feet (and you don’t mind getting dirty), we may be on their trails and it may not be even ground.

Come join the leadership team for our 3rd quarter open leadership meeting. This will be a fun filled team building activity. This a Child Friendly Center, so bring your Mini Eagles. All are welcome to enjoy the day!!

As a site for ongoing interactions, BITS ETC hopes to provide continued opportunities for Veterans and their families to find relaxation and respite on our campus with our therapeutic herd of horses. Anticipating an increase in clients, we have invested in a search for additional horses, and will welcome "Spencer's Rising Star" as our newest addition to the herd. Spence will be used in the Veteran's programming (Our Ride UP program for Uniformed Professionals) as well as our general therapeutic riding program for children and adults with disabilities.

So much expansion requires continued dedication to raising the funds to continue our mission. Thanks to GlobalGiving we are able to get the word out about what we do, and why we do it. Couldn't make it happen without YOU!!
