"My name is Rachel Sorensen. I'm the Equestrian Program Manager here at the National Ability Center and we offer riding lessons to people with disabilities. The people that we serve are in an age range from two and a half or three years old up to 70 to 80 years old and we also serve various types of disabilities.
