Race #2 done and dusted! On Saturday Team Talbot were up bright and early to tackle the second race in the Prestige Trail Run Series, hosted at Amaya Wines.

The trail was definitely more challenging with some steep uphills! But thankfully the exhaustion was tempered by the amazing views and some encouragement from the locals.

We're making great progress in reaching our next milestone thanks to your generosity. Keep checking our Friends and FUNctional Therapy - SA page this week to find out if you're the Winner of our Lucky Draw! Entries are closed but you're still welcome to donate or follow our journey as we race for rides.

😱 Something is wrong with our medals!! They have a giant hole!
Nope, it's not AI... It's a puzzle that's part of the challenge we're doing to raise funds for FAFTASA 😅
..🧐 We've done Race #1 & we're warming up for Race #2 to score the next missing piece! 💃🏽🤙🏾

Can you help us put together all the puzzle pieces & secure transport funds for children with special needs? 🦾 Our goal is to help them continue their occupational therapy:

Just some children having fun riding horses🎊 or are they??...

🤓 Hippotherapy is NOT just about riding 🐎 .... Here our children with physical disabilities are becoming stronger & more capable through Occupational Therapy (OT) sessions using the horse's movement to improve their function & reach their functional goals, all while having FUN! 🥳🤩💃🏻

We've seen children learning to sit up independently, roll over & start to walk... AND EVEN RUN... all with the help of our incredible therapy ponies 🦄🤗💪🏽🧑🏿‍🦽🚶🏽‍♀️

🐎Hippotherapy can form part of the treatment plan for children with special needs. Contact us to find out more about our hippotherapy sessions & how you could get involved📞
