The Freedom Recreational Services program brings opportunities, such as horseback riding, to disabled children in Cayuga County. The fall riding program was recently started at The Skaneateles Equestrian Center and was taught by Claire Affleck. In the slideshow below, she and mothers of her students discuss the effect this opportunity had on the students.

It’s so rewarding when the work you do has the “hoped-for” outcome, especially when it’s for a worthy effort. I recently sent out a press release for Claire Affleck Training regarding her fall session of Freedom Riders at Skaneateles Equestrian Center. The Syracuse Post Standard picked it up and one of their staff writers, Scott Rapp, did a lovely article. They also captured some great pictures.
Here is the link to the article on Syracuse.com – click here to read it.
And to the right is a snapshot of the article in the newspaper.
Great job Claire, the Freedom Riders and all of the volunteers at skaneateles Equestrian Center.

Claire Affleck Training will be hosting a Horse Camp the week of July 14th-18th, 9am-3pm. The camp is open to all children ages 7 & up. We encourage both beginners and more experienced riders to join us.
Besides working on riding skills, students will learn proper horsemanship which includes the daily care of the horse, basic vet care, feeding, cleaning, and will be able to watch a demonstration given by a horse shoer.
We not only focus on horse skills, our hope is also that children gain life skills such as self confidence, self esteem, leadership skills, and positive communication.
