Whatcom center offers horseback riding lessons as therapy

As a graduate of the Western Washington University's Behavioral Neuroscience program, I threw my cap with confidence and clarity of purpose. For the last three years I had worked in a lab on campus designing more effective medications for schizophrenia. Through this experience, I learned that I cared deeply about helping people with disabilities and also that I wanted to learn about more hands-on and holistic therapies. I found this opportunity at the Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center where, during the last year of my college experience I was a volunteer, and now I'm an instructor in training.
