Denver, CO – Every year riders, instructors, volunteers and equines invest time and energy in continuously developing in the equine-assisted activities and therapies industry. So many people and equines spend hours in the sun and cold weather, in dusty barns and arenas to participate in this wonderful industry. The dedication of all these individuals and equines is outstanding, and NARHA would like to take this opportunity to honor those people.
