No Dry Eyes Tonight: Extreme Makeover Home Edition Helps a Maryland Therapeutic Riding Center
Click this link to learn more. Look for the episode "Luther Family". I think you can watch the episode online this week at: http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing
Learn more about Freedom Hills Therapeutic Riding here. Delaware Online has a great article about the building of the new house and barn and the involvement of the local community as volunteers and contractors in the project. Photo above is from Delaware Online.
This show was some of the best publicity I've ever seen for the horse world and horse people. It showed real people and the dedication some people have to helping others...with horses as the link. Bravo!

I saw this tonight.........It was awesome.
It was a fantastic show. As a supportor of Mike Rea, I was thrilled to see them discuss his story as a race horse trainer who suffered a severe internal head injury. Mike is an active participant in Freedom Hills program. The horses have been key to his recovery.
Kudos to Freedom Hill as well as to other equine therapy programs.
My husband and I watched the program. It was great that Extreme Makeover could do this for the family. Their dedication to the therapeutic riding program was evident, and what Ty said is so true. People who give to others don't usually give to themselves.
Glad to see they have been given a new beginning
And what she say is so true, about doing it for the smiles and hugs.
I would encourage anyone looking for a way to give back to your community, to find a therapeutic riding facility and volunteer. It will change your life forever!
It was great to see what horses and horse people can do. So glad the Extreme Makeover people did a 2 hour show.We have a therapeutic riding program near us, that we are now supporting. Mike looked so good in the saddle.
