Well, we thought we had found a facility that checked all the boxes, but it was located too far east for most of our clients and volunteers who reside in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Please continue to share on and off of Facebook.
Thank you!!!

Fortunately, this past spring we were able to serve students and clients at a temporary site. The time is NOW to find something more permanent to ensure that we continue to provide needed services to persons living with disabling conditions. Our students and clients deserve nothing less. Contact us at [email protected] or at 540-533-2777 with your suggestions. Please continue to share on and off Facebook.
THANK YOU!!!

Great move!!!

A massive win for Virginia families! Yesterday, signed HB 37 into law, a bill introduced by . This bill permanently protects your ability to access Medicaid Developmental Disability (DD) Waivers even if you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Previously, a person with DD risked being kicked off their DD Medicaid waiver if they received SSDI benefits (often through a parent’s retirement or death) because it counted heavily against their income cap.

This new law ensures Virginia will permanently disregard extra SSDI income above the standard limit when calculating waiver eligibility.

Seeking Suitable Facility!
We continue to get inquiries from individuals, state and local agencies and disability-related organizations regarding our service opportunities, which include Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL). We would love to share with them that we have found a site from which we can operate and be able to diversify and grow our programs.
Please continue to share off and on Facebook. Let's make this happen!
THANK YOU!!!

Do you need to clear last years hay from your barn or loft? BRCTH is in need of 1st or 2nd cutting hay, preferably orchard grass, timothy or a mix of the two. We currently can only store 10 bales at a time which we replenish every 10 days.
Please contact us at 540-533-2777 if you have hay you are interested in selling or donating. Thank you

Happy Spring, everyone! Fortunately, we were able to move to a temporary location and offer a short spring session, but we are still on the lookout for a site to lease long-term. Please share on and off of Facebook.
