Congratulations to Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding, Inc. for being nominated and selected as the

Chamber Impact Award recipient for the month of April 2022. The Chamber Impact Award recognizes a Boone County Chamber member who has made positive contributions to the Boone County community.

Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding Center in Zionsville is a nonprofit organization that has offered equine-assisted services to a wide range of child, adolescent, and adult participants with physical, cognitive, behavioral, and/or emotional disabilities throughout Central Indiana for nearly 25 years. They have over 65 clients in their therapeutic riding and ground work programs focusing on mental health. Morning Dove is a Premier Accredited member of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International (PATH).

Morning Dove is excited for the next 25 years and more, as they look forward to moving to the Whitestown area in the next few years with a built-for-purpose facility to serve individuals year-round. 

Be on the lookout for Morning Dove’s calendar of events for the remainder of the year, with the first being a movie night in the hayfield featuring the movie, “Spirit”! Morning Dove appreciates the Boone County community and invites you to me a part of Morning Dove’s community, as a volunteer to help with weekly programming. Additional details regarding the organization and volunteer opportunities can be found at https://morningdovetrc.org or by contacting officemanager@mdtrc.org.
