Dare to Dream Ranch

Karen Dalton, President of the Dare to Dream Ranch, was our guest speaker on Monday.  She is on an exciting new journey to establish her multifacted equine therapy ranch in Foster, RI, for the purpose of providing a variety of assisted therapy programs for homeless and at risk veterans.  Her team of volunteers will provide a variety of programs from equine therapy to nutrition education.  Karen is a Certified Health Coach and her team of volunteers will provide treatments and training in yoga, horticulture therapy, equine therapy, nutrition education and healthy cooking, as a few examples.  The group's mission is "to transform the lives of US veterans by providing a multifaceted equine assisted therapy program to help them learn how to manage current situations and future challenges."  Their 1st Annual 5K Walk/Run event will take place on Sunday, April 12, at Bryant University in Smithfield from 10am to 1pm.  For further information about the Dare to Dream Ranch, please go to www.daretodreamranch.org.
