“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
- Winston Churchill
SOWW would like to introduce you to a very special neighboring organization just a few minutes down the road from our Bull Run Warrior Retreat.
The Rainbow Center is a place where individuals with special challenges come together, and where victories — some dramatic, some modest, but all significant — are joyously celebrated.
Established in 1985, Rainbow Center is a non-profit organization, which provides therapeutic equestrian activities to individuals with physical and mental challenges in Prince William County and surrounding Northern Virginia areas.
Under the guidance of registered therapists and certified riding instructors, therapeutic riding helps individuals experience physical and emotional rewards. The Rainbow Center operates under the guidelines of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International .
The Rainbow Center, AW2 program is the official U.S. Army program that assists and advocates for severely wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers, Veterans, and their families. This program is offered free of charge to the men and women of all the armed services who have been injured in the line of duty.
SOWW has just initiated a dialogue with the Rainbow Center to establish a relationship in serving the WII military members who will be lodging at the Bull Run Warrior Retreat.
For more information about the Rainbow Center, please visit them at www.rainbowriding.org.
