Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Through LEAD Scholars Animal Rights Leadership, our group had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer at Freedom Ride in Orlando, Florida. This organization provides horseback riding lessons to members of our community with disabilities. While this practice helps the riders physically and mentally, this project highlights Freedom Ride's expertise in horse care, using their organization as an example of proper horse care in this setting. Each horse has individual needs for diet, supplements, training, and more. Find out more about why Freedom Ride's horses live such a fulfilling life in our video!
