Elenor & "Rin Tin Tin"
 

A note from DEC trainer, Christopher Ewing:

I lost a very dear friend named Eleonore to cancer not long ago.  She was a wonderful horsewoman who lived in Germany who had a beautiful personality and a very kind heart.  Her passing was a shock to us all and since her passing I really wanted to do something to honor her memory.  Recalling how much she suffered in the latter stages of her disease, I thought about how all she wanted to do during the last days of her life was spend time being around horses.  I, then, thought about how so many other people who are suffering with cancer, especially kids, would love to just have some time to themselves where they could just forget about the treatments and the pain and everything else, and just have fun.  What better way than to be around horses! 

Thus, I created the

"Remembering Eleonore"
Therapeutic Riding Program
                                                  for children with cancer


The Detroit Equestrian Club will make its facility available, free of charge, for kids 3 years of age and older who are suffering from cancer who would like to come out to the facility and ride or just enjoy being around the horses.  This program is sponsored by The Hang On to the Dream Foundation, a national 501 (c) 3, non-profit organization that provides money, equipment and opportunities to kids in an effort to help them reach their goals in life.

No prior riding experience necessary.
