DAYTON--Usually horses are entertaining us and giving us a reason to throw down some money, but a special group of people are using horses in a very unique way.
The Therapeutic Riding Institute has helped more than 3,000 people in the past 40 years.
"For a number of years there wasn't a lot of positive response from the medical field. But now even doctors and therapists, they are sending people to us because they see what kind of benefit it gives to the students," said Program Director Cindy Redolfi.
The Therapeutic Riding Institute assists a wide variety of students by providing therapy for autism, muscular problems veterans with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder and ADHD.
The institute has 125 volunteers giving back to the community.
"There is a miracle in our arena everyday. Things that aren't usually seen as miracles for our students riding our horses," said Executive Director Marleen Milkis.
Thanks to the RiverValley Credit Union, The Therapeutic Riding Institute received $250.
