Olivia Hapney

Hey y’all! My name is Olivia and welcome to my series where I talk about Therapeutic Riding. I have been volunteering at a local Therapeutic Riding Academy for almost 4 years and it has grown to be something I am really passionate about. This podcast is produced with the intention to bring recognition to the tremendous benefits that can come from Therapeutic Riding. I hope you learn something new as you join me along this adventure!
