The Hemet Ramona Valley Lions Club held a spaghetti dinner to raise funds for their non-profits on Saturday, Sept. 8  - and T.H.E. was there!  T.H.E. staff, volunteers, students and families ate spaghetti (YUM) and showed their support of a wonderful organization and group of folks - so three cheers for the Hemet Ramona Valley Lions Club!  HIP, HIP, HOORAY!    We thank the Lions for their hard work and dedication, and we thank T.H.E. staff, volunters, students and families that came to support - you are all awesome!

Our first saturday of the fall session was awesome.  We would like to thank EVERYONE who came out and worked so hard to make the day go so smooth.  Because of our wonderful volunteers,  all classes were on time, despite the many last minute horse and tack changes!  It was great to see everyone back after summer break - and some new faces too!  Everyone jumped right in and  all picked right up where you left off.  Pens and water troughs cleaned and topped off, feed truck was loaded and ready to go for the night feeding - THANK YOU!

Hey everyone - what if T.H.E. earned money every time you searched the Internet? Well, now we can!

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue,about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it’s powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter THE Center - Therapy for Handi-Capable Equestrians as the charity you want to support, even make it your homepage!  Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime!

And, be sure to spread the word!
