Riders Write

What I like about SMART is the fact that we get to do equation in the arena. Then we get to ride as rockin and ride girls all together me and my friends . We get to be unhooked but our leaders stay close by our horses head. We get to ride trail in the trail arena and we get to ride in the big fields like real professionals. I love all the volunteers at SMART.

Nicki and PJ SMART is more then a place to learn how to horseback ride.

SMART is making new friends. It is taking lessons on Thursday night with the “Girls Rock & Ride.” All seven of us really enjoy the hour a week we spend together.

SMART is cool instructors like Mrs. Gail, Mrs. Sam, & Mrs. Susan who really care about us & want us to shine.

SMART is the horses in the stable. PJ is my favorite & I love Magic & Blondie too. PJ has been helping me to be a better rider for years. He helps me not to be nervous because I know he is gentle & safe.

SMART is Special Olympic competitions. I’ve been lucky enough to compete on the State level two years.

SMART is one of the best activities in my life. I look forward to being apart of it for a long time. It will be really great when SMART has it’s own home someday.

SMART is “Pennies for Ponies.” Each year my dad & I raise money in our neighborhood to help take care of all the horses. You’d really be surprised at how much hay they can eat & you’d really be amazed at how long it takes to count all the pennies & change we collect.

Thank You SMART for being there for ME.
