Gay For Good
The Gay For Good June event takes place at Equest Therapeutic Horsemanship in Wylie on Saturday.
Participants will be lending a hand with different chores around the stables and grounds including assisting with facility and stable improvements, general barn chores or administrative office work.
Founded in 1981, Equest was the first therapeutic riding center in Texas for children and adults with all types of disabilities and learning differences. Its programs are about children and adults who reach beyond the confines of their disabilities with the assistance of equine-assisted therapy.
Gay For Good energizes and mobilizes the LGBT community to interact with the greater DFW community by volunteering time to various social welfare and environmental service projects.
