Healing Through Horses at Eos Therapeutic Riding Center

Bloomsburg, PA - W&L Subaru is thrilled to announce its support for the Eos Therapeutic Riding Center. This partnership, part of the dealership's ongoing "Subaru Loves To Help" initiative, will directly fund the essential care of the center's cherished therapy horses, ensuring they can continue their vital work.

The Eos Therapeutic Riding Center, located near Bloomsburg, PA, has been a beacon of hope since its establishment in 1992. The center provides unique equine-assisted therapy programs for children and adults with special needs, including those facing mental, physical, and emotional challenges, as well as veterans. Through individualized 45-minute riding sessions, supervised by certified instructors and assisted by dedicated volunteers, riders experience profound improvements in balance, coordination, strength, and overall well-being. The calming and connective nature of the horses provides a therapeutic environment that often feels like play rather than traditional therapy.

"We are so thrilled to support the care of the beautiful horses at Eos Therapeutic Riding Center," said a representative from W&L Subaru. "Through our Subaru Loves To Help initiative, our sponsorship ensures these animal companions can continue providing therapeutic horseback riding activities for mentally, physically and emotionally challenged children and adults." This collaboration highlights W&L Subaru's commitment to community support and its dedication to organizations that make a significant impact.

The care of these special therapy horses is paramount to the center's mission. Costs associated with their well-being, including horse feed, farrier services (shoeing and trimming), vaccinations, and veterinary care, are substantial. A significant portion of Eos's operating budget relies on community generosity and fundraising efforts. The generous support from W&L Subaru will directly help offset these essential expenses, allowing Eos to continue offering its vital therapeutic riding services, regardless of a rider's ability to pay.

The Eos Therapeutic Riding Center serves nearly one hundred riders from a seven-county area around Bloomsburg, including Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Union, Luzerne, and Snyder counties. The organization also runs a dedicated veterans program, further extending its reach and positive influence.

W&L Subaru's commitment to community impact is evident through various initiatives, including "Subaru Loves Learning" and their annual "Share the Love" event. This partnership with Eos Therapeutic Riding Center further solidifies their dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of their neighbors and supporting crucial local non-profits.
