Little Britches
2025 Annual Appeal
Keep Christian Riding
Meet Christian and Elizabeth
Meet Christian and his mom, Elizabeth Choung. Elizabeth knew her son Christian could benefit from therapeutic riding. In college, she had volunteered as a side walker and saw firsthand the benefits of improving physical strength and facilitating sensory integration.
Today, thanks to your support, Christian participates year round in the Little Britches riding program; both the outdoor therapeutic riding program offered at the Tophet Road Farm and indoors at the Equine Center at the Shepaug Agriscience Academy at Shepaug Valley School. Christian has been riding for two years.
Today, we embark on our year-end campaign so that next year, Christian can continue to ride.
Your support is crucial in this ongoing mission.
Hear Elizabeth describe the qualities she sees in the Little Britches’ therapeutic riding program.
Thanks to your generosity, Little Britches provides therapeutic riding to over 90 riders from 32 area towns. With yours continued support, we can ensure that Christian will keep riding and continue to offer riders like Christian with the opportunity to improve their flexibility, balance strength and coordination -and have fun too!
Caring for our seven horses and compensation for our certified instructors and therapists is expensive.
In order to offset the cost to our families in need, we appeal to our friends and donors to contribute to this worthwhile program throughout the year. We thank you for your continued support and generosity.
