Hundreds of local people with disabilities will be able to experience the healing power of horses at RTT, thanks to Modern Woodmen’s gift.” Bronson went on to note that, “Dances with Horses has become a popular event for horse lovers of all ages - it showcases the special bond between humans and horses; a bond that riders and horses at RTT celebrate every day!”
