Countdown to Our Annual 10K Trail Run & 5K Fun Run/Walk

We are about a month away from our Annual 10K Trail Run and 5K Fun Run/Walk. September 4th will mark our 9th year of hosting this fundraiser for the Head Start Programs through the YMCA in Frederick County.  headstart

Proceeds for this event offset the costs for the Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) Program we offer to Head Start Frederick County. We’ve been partnering with Frederick County YMCA providing programs for kids for many years. This past year was our 3rd school year to provide the EAL program for their Head Start participants.

We have witnessed how EAL enriches the lives of those who participate and want to continue to provide what we think is a valuable and unique opportunity for these kids. Some have never been this close to a horse.  After a few days the horses have captured their hearts and the experience has created change in these young hearts, sometimes profound changes.

Come enjoy the beauty on the mountain. We love to share it with others!TW race shot
