Equestrian Crossings, a nonprofit equine-assisted activities program, will begin its summer session July 5, and is taking reservations for classes now.

Organizers say the program offers more than just riding lessons.

Certified instructors offer classes on in-hand ground work, sport riding, hippotherapy and vaulting — gymnastics and dance on horseback — to all persons, including those with special needs.

ADA accessible lessons are located in Reinshadow Ridge Arena in Greenbank on Thursdays and at the Hastie Lake Arena in Oak Harbor on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Space is limited, so those interested are encouraged to make reservations by June 17.

Applications are available online at www.eques
triancrossings.com.

Opportunities are also available to be an EqX volunteer. Organizers say no experience is needed.

Summer volunteer training will be held Thursday, June 23 in Greenbank and Friday, June 24 in Oak Harbor.
