Michael Muir is the Director of Access Adventure, whose mission is "to provide outdoor recreation, environmental education and open space access to underserved youth and people with disabilities, using innovative wheelchair accessible horse-drawn carriages."
Access Adventure will be joining other organizations at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds on October 24th for the Disability Services and Legal Center Tech Expo. For more info about this event, click here.
There are many equestrian programs for people with disabilities, but Muir says Access Adventure is different, and can complement hippotherapy activites.
