Riding therapy group faces daunting fundraising challenge

"The future of the Windsor-Essex Therapeutic Riding Association depends on it raising $700,000 in less than a year -- more than 10 times the non-profit group's normal annual fundraising goal.

But Sue Klotzer, the association's director, says she's confident they can do it.

'It's a huge challenge for a small organization, but we're pretty determined to get there. We need this new facility.'

Since 1963, WETRA has helped physically, emotionally and mentally challenged persons by allowing them to ride and interact with specially trained horses in a controlled environment."
