On October 18th from 6-10pm at our Stables in Milton, we move aside the hay bales in our indoor riding arena to make room for a dance floor with the ever-popular Mason Dixon Band, a BBQ dinner with all the fixings, a premium bourbon tasting station, and a number of coveted items available through our silent and live auctions. Each year, our staff of certified instructors and more than 150 local volunteers provide tailored lesson programs to children and adults living with disabilities. With room to grow, we recently launched a new equine assisted therapy program for veterans.

The Barn Dance is one of this deeply rooted Sussex County nonprofit’s major events to support SDTR’s mission of service through its family of therapy horses, local riders, certified instructors, and passionate volunteers. “SDTR Barn Dance fundraiser is critical in helping provide financial support for our therapeutic riding program, and scholarships for those who would otherwise be unable to benefit from our unique services,” said Jo Allegro-Smith, Executive Director. “SDTR has a specialized mission in service to Sussex County. The Annual Barn Dance is a critical cornerstone event in our ability to
provide equine-assisted therapy to serve the unmet needs of participants who have a variety of physical or developmental disabilities.”
Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding (SDTR) is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization that was established in 1988. The Mission of SDTR is to improve the physical and emotional wellbeing of children and adults living with disabilities through equine-assisted services in a supportive environment for riders and their families. The program serves children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy, autism, down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and head trauma living in Sussex County, Delaware. SDTR strives to bring the advantages of therapeutic riding and other
equine-assisted activities to all members of the community who can benefit.
