People Helping Horses (PHH) Founder and Executive Director Gretchen Salstrom was recently made aware of the need in the community to serve children with disabilities through therapeutic riding. After careful consideration and much discussion, Salstrom and the PHH Board of Directors agreed to partner with NARHA certified instructor Laurie Grow in the launch of a new program, Leg Up for Kids Therapeutic Riding.

The program officially commenced on April 1, 2009. It is run at Half Trak Farm, a beautiful facility located in Stanwood, WA. Quiet and calm, the staff feels that this location is perfect for therapeutic riding and is confident that the participants and their families will, too. Classes are offered for four-year-olds and up, Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. Sessions run on a monthly basis with payment for each month due by the fifth of the month.
