The initiative of Kathryn Junod and a lot of help from supporters has resulted in the Forsyth County Special Olympics Equestrian Team. The team is made up of 16 special-needs children ranging in age from 9 to 30. Three instructors offer therapeutic riding time while also teaching lessons in horsemanship.
