IMPORTANT DSNMC NEWS
April 2010 Play Group
The DSNMC three years and older playgroup had the opportunity to participate in an introductory therapeutic riding class at Great and Small Riding Program in Boyds, Maryland on April 24, 2010. Each child was able to ride the horse named Murphy along with an adult to help guide. All of the children had a blast and we hope to have this great opportunity again in the near future!
