Horses for Heroes

For awhile I've been interested in equine therapy, a form of recreation specially designed for those with disabilities ranging from back injuries to depression. This is a video that introduces the idea of therapeutic riding and the benifits it can have.

Fed Up

There was a documentary that came out a while ago about how sugar in our foods is killing us off at an alarming rate. Now, I know this is a little off topic from our main focus on accessible recreation, but we spend so much time talking about how to accommodate people with disabilities they can't change and none on how we could prevent the ones we can. Unfortunately the massive amount of sugars in our diets is causing obesity and type 2 diabetes in kids younger and younger each year. As the obesity levels rise it poses a major threat not only to accessible recreation but to recreation as a whole. Just some food for thought.
