"Hello, my name is Victoria Snyder. I live in Dayton, just north of Maple Grove and south of Rogers.

 

I own and operate Plenty Star II Riding Center. We're a new equestrian facility and provide riding lessons for kids and adults in our new heated indoor arena in the winter, and in or outdoors in the temperate months.

 

I would like to do something to give back to the moms, dads and kids that are here in MN waiting for the return of their loved ones.

 

We have wonderful, amazing horses who have helped fill a sad or lonely heart with their love and gentle curiosity.

 

I would like to offer the chance for any MN military family who has loved ones deployed to come ride at our facility at no charge available to them on a Sunday or Friday evening..they just need to email me so we can work out a good time and date.

 

I've seen our wonderful horses do amazing things with kids and adults and although I don't have a lot of anything else to give, if my horses and my time will help fill a lonely moment with a new and happy memory, I'd very much like to do that.

 

Kind regards and thank you to all of our soldiers in the military, you set, and keep us free.
