The "Horses for Handicapped" program at the Bakas Equestrian Center continues to grow at an amazing rate.  Maintaining the equestrian center is a very expensive and time consuming task.  A program such as this one cannot be successful without help from area businesses and individuals.   Donations of money, supplies, and time is critical to the ongoing success of the program.

If you are in a position to help our organization, please call us at (813) 264-3890 or e-mail us at horsebakas@yahoo.com.
