t Takes Two Farm of Windham is hosting a virtual ride-athon, “Ride it Forward,” to raise awareness and funds for equine assisted services at Riding To The Top Therapeutic Riding Center.

Crystal Stover, the owner of It Takes Two Farm was a volunteer, and later a teacher, for Riding To The Top "many, many years ago"! That is where she learned "first-hand the wonderful memories that are being made there".

Students and staff at It Takes Two Farm are collecting pledges or donations for each minute they ride in the month of May. 

As horseback riders themselves, they know how good they feel riding and they want to help others have the opportunity to feel the same way. Each rider will set a riding goal and a fundraising goal.

The staff of It Takes Two Farm will keep a logbook to track hours. All funds raised will go directly to help people with disabilities take lessons at Riding To The Top, many of them could not afford to ride without the support of those who donate to RTT.

To date they have raised half of their $5,000 goal.
