Horseback riding therapy has helped our handicapped daugher with her balance and social skills. The staff personalize their lessons and match the horse with each rider. Their patience is unlimited with the riders.

My son has cerebral palsy and has attended Banbury Cross for the last year. We have seen so much improvement in his core strength over the last year and Banbury deserves so much credit for that. Please vote for them!

This is truly a non profit organization that uses all of its resources towards the population it serves. Our daughter has ridden at Banbury Cross for the past 2 and a half years and we have seen the commitment of the staff, volunteers, and horses to the individuals with disabilities they service. Every bit of income, manpower, and horsepower is aimed at improving the lives of those who walk through their doors, and they provide this with smiles, caring, and patience.

Banbury Lover

I currently work for Banbury Cross after being a volunteer for 3 years. When I first started at Banbury Cross, I thought it would be something to do in order to give back to my community and combine my love for helping people with horses. After 1 session, I was hooked. I started to see what a difference this made in these peoples lives, and the benefits of horseback riding. This one rider was finally able to walk after years of being confined to a wheelchair. It was a sight that will change my life forever. PLEASE VOTE!
