MILFORD, PA — GAIT Therapeutic Riding Center hosted a special birthday party on Saturday, February 1. Such birthday parties began when parents of riders with special needs noted that their children didn’t typically get invited to social events, such as a party. GAIT decided to host an event to honor its horses and give the children a fun, friendly social celebration. At the party, the senior horses demonstrated the “Gaits at GAIT;” there was a special guest appearance by Midnight the pony led by longtime participant Evan Passaro; and Julia Sullivan from Project Linus, a non- profit organization that provides blankets to children in need, gave a special presentation and donated handmade blankets to the riders in attendance. In the photo above, birthday participants Sophie, Colin, and Gideon are seen enjoying their blankets.
