PROS students receive equine therapy

It is well known by those that work with horses that they are calming animals, so the PROS (Personalized Recovery Oriented Services) team has schedule weekly visits to Sunrays, Inc., a non-profit in Kingston dedicated to enhancing the lives of all who come to share in equine related experiences. A couple of students a week visit the farm and spend time grooming, feeding, and leading the horses. It's a great way to get outside and spend time with these beautiful animals.
