Imagine ... making a wish come true ... giving hope ... providing a key to success ... Join the Cheff Therapeutic Riding Center’s Adopt-A-Rider Scholarship Program.  You will make a difference!

A donation of $100 will sponsor a rider for a week. $200 will provide the financial support to care for a horse for one month, and $640 will provide a rider scholarship for a session. With a gift of $2400, you can adopt a rider or care for a horse for one year. Opportunities are also available to endow a rider forever by creating a named scholarship through a planned gift to the Cheff Center. We can even match you with a rider from your community!

Therapeutic Riding encourages riders to learn ... increases their concentration, patience and discipline ... develops a sense of control and independence. They sit taller. Focus better. 

The motion and action of the horse improves posture, strengthens and relaxes the muscles and stimulates the nervous and circulatory system.

When you adopt a rider, you will receive a photograph of your rider with a thank you letter written by the rider. You will also receive an open invitation to visit anytime. Come out to the Cheff Therapeutic Riding Center to see your rider grow stronger in his or her skills and confidence. We promise complete satisfaction!

Please call Executive Director Blaine Lam at (269) 345-1113 to find out how YOU can make a difference in the life of a child!
