Riding center to use funds for student scholarships

SCOTTSDALE—Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship is delighted to announce the receipt of $10,000 from Thunderbirds Charities in support of Camelot’s horsemanship program for children and adults with physical disabilities. 

“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this generous funding from Thunderbirds Charities,” said Camelot’s Executive Director, Mary Hadsall. “This support will truly make a life-changing difference in the lives of the students we serve and we are incredibly grateful to Thunderbirds Charities for making this possible.” 

Camelot was founded in 1983 upon the principle that it is impossible to put a price on human dignity, so all students in the Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship program receive their lessons completely free of charge. This generous grant from Thunderbirds Charities will go directly to support these program services. 

Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship is a nonprofit organization that teaches horsemanship to children and adults who have physical disabilities. Camelot has been offering all services at no cost to students since 1983 and is located in North Scottsdale.
