Rainbow Riding Center Ribbon Cutting

Today was indeed a most blessed event that Serve Our Willing Warriors had the privileged to attend. This event was held in honor of the Rainbow Riding Center and the ambitious Debi Alexander. This is an amazing origination that SOWW has made plans to partner with once they open their retreat to the wounded warriors on Memorial Day 2015.

The most gracious riding center was started in 1985 and was described as nomadic. This program simply existed only in the crevices of the county that they could afford to carry out their mission. Fortunately for us, today the Rainbow Riding Center is now fully established and stationed in the great Haymarket of Virginia.

The ribbon cutting ceremony that they held today was accompanied by many community dignitaries that realized the gave importance of the mere existence of programs such as the Rainbow Riding center.

One of the most honored guests had been a rider with the Rainbow Center for a number of years and had been diagnosed with autism from birth. Below here is a photo of him giving his speech that sent chills down the spine of every attendee of the event. He quotes:

"Hello, I am a rainbow rider. When I ride I feel invincible."

With tears in my eyes I snapped a shot of him alongside his proud mother. This amazing facility is truly making a difference in such immense leaps and bounds. We wish the best to the future and success of the Rainbow Riding Center. Our future together looks to be very bright not only for us but also for the wounded warriors we plan to serve!
