Technically this isn’t “in” Guelph, but it’s only a few minutes outside of Guelph and a lot of Guelphites use the center.  It was a full house (or tent) of supporters. Well known host Lisa Richards from Magic FM did a great job. There were many many volunteers  and sponsors for the event so a big thank you to them!

From their website, here’s some info on what they do:

Sunrise Aims and Objectives:

• To provide a high quality therapeutic, recreation, and sport equestrian program under the direction of qualified professional personnel.

• To raise awareness in the community regarding the program’s impact on the challenges faced and overcome by children and adults with special needs.
• To continually seek new goals for the program and the participants.
