My name is Matt and I have been riding at Centaur Stride for 15 years! I love going there and riding Dude. I’m able to go to the barn twice a week and ride Dude. I also help out by volunteering there as well. Dude is my very special horse — he is so gentle. I love taking care of Dude; by brushing him, and after every riding lesson giving him a treat. We sure have a special bond! I really enjoy learning new drills. Dude will walk beside me by command. I love riding out on the trails. Please help me help Centaur Stride, the horses, and all the other people who ride there by participating in this year’s walkathon. I’m going to be walking in-person this year to help raise money needed to care of Dude for the next year. It’s very expensive to take care of a horse, and I like knowing I can help out. My family helps out a lot, and my mother is the Treasurer on the Board of Directors. I would love it if you would join me on Sunday, March 26 at the Chautauqua Mall. If you can’t make it (or even if you can), you can sponsor me by donating to my fundraiser page. I hope you can visit Centaur Stride someday and see ALL the benefits for yourself. Your donation helps so many others besides me.
