Therapeutic riding
The Roanoke Valley Therapeutic Riding Program will host a pleasure trail ride June 21-23 at the Rockbridge Hunt. Cost, including meals, is $60 for adult riders and $40 for nonriders and riders under 18.
Horses need to be conditioned because the terrain is moderately challenging. All funds go to support the riding program, which is a nonprofit organization that benefits adults and children with disabilities.
