Matt is founder and inspiration for Spirit Open Equestrian Program. I met him 2006 in another Therapeutic Riding program and we started with TR lessons. His attitude, and skills made him improve so much in just a year, to become a solid Para dressage rider with future to compete...after several public presentation of his riding skills, he was ready to go... so with generous help of friends, Whitney, Lynne, Kate and more people who wanted to support Para dressage at that time...he competed in Colorado, and won twice!
His performance provide him invitation to Gladstone,PA National Equestrian Center.
At that time, he rode Morgan mare Charm...and it was promising combination...
Charm has been given away...
Matt and group of friends started Spirit Open Equestrian Program...
Louie, Morgan gelding been given to Spirit Program, so Matt competed at Morven Park VA making solid results, 2007. See it on this video.
After Louie left Spirit, too, we got Infinity, Morgan mare who was a good match for Matt, too....
Spirit Program and myself are proud to present Matt and his story here.
