The Ranchette Veley Equestrian Center. Supports The Southern Utah Autism Support Group

The Southern Utah Autism Support Group is enjoying The Ranchette Veley Equestrian Center.

Two beautiful five-year-old twins with autism make spending time with horses part of their weekly activities. These thriving vivacious girls are gaining tremendous balance and confidence from riding seasoned, safe lesson horses.

Parents of children with autism in the St. George, UT area are encouraged to call Gail Veley at 435/231-0127 to schedule a lesson. It could very well change your child's life!! The Southern Utah Autism Support Group is led by Bonnie Webb. More information is available by visiting their website.
