Connor’s Heroes is piloting a program for our childhood cancer heroes: Equine Therapy. Bruce Nachman, owner of New Day Equine in Ashland, told us about the positive effects of childhood cancer patients working with horses. First one to jump at the chance was Tariq. This brave boy overcame many obstacles in treating his brain tumor. Here he is now confidently riding a horse. We are piloting the program with other hero families. Based on Tariq’s first session, we are off on the right foot (or hoof!).
