October 13 - A cold fall day (more pictures)! For everyone who got to witness nature's first surprise snow flakes on Thursday, thank you for braving the cold and we hope you had as much fun as we did. Good thing we had some horses around to keep us warm!

Volunteers and riders should bring warm clothes (jackets, gloves, hats, and thermal layers) when the weather gets chilly. Wisconsin seasons are anyone's guess, and if you are prepared for it, you will have a lot more fun in the great outdoors with horses.

If you would like to check the LifeStriders weather on any of our lesson days, you may go to the calendar and view the forecast there.

Oscar is the newest addition to the LifeStriders family. He is going through our therapeutic riding and desensitization training and is on his way to joining the Lifestriders team. So far, so good!

He is a very friendly, 6 year old quarter horse who loves people and snorts when he is happy.

Due to increased community awareness and a growing list of people who are requesting therapeutic riding lessons......we need volunteers for Wednesday and Thursday sessions. Please email or call 262.565.6124 if you can volunteer your time to help the disabled members of our communities receive the benefits that therapeutic riding can offer to them.

Hey...people are noticing the great work we are doing around here. Here are a few articles about LifeStriders that have shown up lately:

Kettle Moraine High School's Bash in the Grass was a huge success. Thanks to Lindsay and Bob for manning the booth, Lisa for getting the banners made, and Friends of Nature for sponsoring our canopy and banners. The KMHS and Arrowhead marketing groups raised money for LifeStriders rider scholarships at this event by getting corporate sponsorships and providing an inflatable carnival of games and rides before the big Arrowhead and KMHS showdown. There was a great turnout and the rides and games were a lot of fun. Thanks everyone at KMHS and Arrowhead for choosing LifeStriders as your Charity. You have put alot of smiles on faces around here! See more photos here.
