Mane Stream is a farm in Oldwick that offers adaptive riding and therapy to people with disabilities. Volunteers spend the session on their feet in a sandy arena, often walking beside the same rider each week. Training covers horse behavior, safety, grooming, tacking, leading and sidewalking. Most volunteers give two to six hours a week for a six to twelve week session.
