Horse power helps the disabled

Denise Boyett is not unfamiliar with the sight of horses here on Whidbey Island, nor is she unfamiliar with helping those with special needs.

Once a special education para-educator, she is now the executive director of Horsemanship Opportunities for Potential Equestrians - HOPE - a therapeutic horseback riding program.

The program was founded 22 years ago by Langley resident Pat Webb, who was a member of the board until 2007 when she decided to retire.

"Pat saw a need and found a way to fill it" Boyett said of Webb's desire to involve Washington state with the success of equine-assisted activities for people with disabilities. After 14 years of "taking the reins," Boyett has seen a growing interest in the therapy from Renton to Bainbridge Island to the Olympic Peninsula.
