Children with Disbalities in Kiln, MS
The Gaits to Success organization aims to work with children and adults living with disabilities in the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Gaits to Success is a therapeutic horseback riding program for people with disabilities such as partial paralysis, autism and cerebral palsy. This non-profit organization believes that riding horses enables students to gain independence and a sense of freedom that cannot be attained in traditional therapy. Volunteers will assist the students and instructors by guiding the horses, shadowing instructors, and engaging with students.
