Rider's Stories
The stories are written by a rider, a parent, caregiver or myself. I hope they inspire you. The joys that occur at Freedomfarm are a gift from God. His love shines through when the team of a special rider, a chosen horse and giving volunteers all come together. So, I give a special thank you to those who are willing to share from their heart A Riders Story......
