Miles of Smiles Therapeutic Riding Program presents Walk and Whoa, a benefit dance and auction.
Walk and Whoa will feature a performance by Smokin' Hott, hors d'oeurvs, item viewing, dance, auction, and a drawing for a Sony DVD home theater system. Admission is $10, kids 10 years and younger are free. Walk and Whoa will take place Oct. 19, at the Plaza Inn Ballroom.
Walk and Whoa is presented by Miles of Smiles Therapeutic Riding Program. Miles of Smiles is a nonprofit organization that offers people with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities or injuries the benefits of therapeutic riding.
Miles of Smiles is operated by volunteers and is supported by contributions from the public. The organization is a member of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Associations. This national nonprofit organization is dedicated to promoting and supporting therapeutic riding.
Therapeutic riding offers a variety of hippotherapy activities (physical therapy on horseback) to riders with a wide range of disabilities and injuries. The movement of the horse relaxes tight muscles and stimulates unused muscles, which encourage better balance, flexibility, coordination, posture, and muscular strength and control.
Horseback riding also offers many psychological benefits. Mastering the commands and controlling the horse gives the rider a sense of self-confidence, self-esteem and independence.
