Healing Strides would like to say  a  huge THANK YOU to the Smith Mountain Lake Civitan Club and The Foundation for Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (FCIDD),  for their very generous gift of $26,416.25 for our HORSES!  
These funds will be used to purchase saddles for our wonderful horses and to upgrade the footing in both the indoor and outdoor arenas. This gift will be a blessing to both us, our participants, volunteers and our horses.   We cannot wait to see the improvements for the health and care of our four legged team members. Thank you again!
