Would you recommend One Step Closer Therapeutic Riding?

by alie h. from Milpitas, CA (October 14, 2008)
I absolutely love one step closer! Every day that you volunteer there is awesome and you just can't wait to go back! The people are all extremely friendly and flexible. The children that go to one step closer's program definitely enjoy it and just seeing the smiles on their faces makes your day! I definitely recommend this opportunity to everyone!! It doesn't matter if you don't have a clue about horses! Just try it!
