Letter of Support from US Congressman Howard Berman

Strides Therapeutic Riding Centers recently became Strides/Sinlimites Therapeutic Riding Centers, starting the first Spanish-speaking therapeutic riding center in the United States. Strides/Sinlimites has received a wonderful letter of support from Howard Berman, member of the Congress of the United States House of Representatives, representing the 28th district of California. It reads as follows:

Dear Friends:

I strongly support the mission of STRIDES/Sinlimites Therapeutic Riding Centers, Inc. to use horsemanship to improve the bodies, minds and spirits of people with special needs and people who are socially and economically disadvantaged.

I congratulate Strides/Sinlimites on its efforts to reach out to the Spanish-speaking population of Los Angeles. I also commend Strides/Sinlimites for initiating therapeutic riding programs in India, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Ecuador. Strides/Sinlimites provides a great service to the disabled in Los Angeles and all over the world.

Congratulations on your success and recent expansion.

Sincerely,

Howard L. Berman
