What We Can Accomplish Together
I have been volunteering at Small Miracles for over 10 years. During this time, I have met and had the privilege of working with staff, volunteers and most importantly, students, who have benefited from the Small Miracles' riding program. Many life-long lessons are learned by the students: teamwork, empathy and communication with others, as well as, horses — a valuable experience for all. Many thanks are in order to the staff who make this possible!
