GMTRC posts annual horse show

Greystone Manor Therapeutic Riding Center (GMTRC) will host its 44th annual horse show on Saturday, Sept. 21, at 1063 Hartman Station Road, Lancaster. The free event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and feature horses along with students with special needs, who will demonstrate horsemanship skills they have worked on all year.

Since 1981, GMTRC, a nonprofit organization, has been teaching children and adults with special needs how to ride and work with horses. Students may experience a variety of therapeutic benefits from their work with the horses, including improved strength, balance, coordination, communication skills, processing, self-esteem, and life skills for independence. During the annual show, all students will be recognized for the skills they have mastered.

At this year's event, GMTRC will also unveil the Libby Craver Legacy Scholarship, created by Craver's family to honor her more than 20 years of volunteer service with GMTRC. Craver passed away last year, but she is remembered for her dedication to GMTRC, where she served as a volunteer coordinator, the head instructor, and the board president.

Food and refreshments will be available for purchase, as well as GMTRC gear, including T-shirts and swag. All proceeds will support GMTRC's programs.
