This past Saturday, MCRC celebrated our annual Hippo Play Day with 34 amazing kiddos showing off the skills they’ve been working so hard to master in our Equine Programs. Families, staff, and volunteers came together to cheer on the progress of our young riders—it’s truly one of the happiest days of the year! 🐴 😊
A heartfelt thank you to Cliffwater Investments, R.C. Bennett Company, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 19, Chevron, H-E-B Tournament of Champions Charitable Trust, and the United Way of Midland for helping make this program possible. Your partnership keeps Hippotherapy—“therapy on horseback”—alive and thriving for children in our community. 💙 💚
We also pause to honor the incredible legacy of service of R.C. Bennett, whose tradition of hosting lunch at Hippo Play Day nearly 35 years ago has grown into a lasting community effort. Today, his daughters, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 19, and Clay Bomer/Dynasty Wireline Services continue that legacy of kindness. 💕 💕
We are so grateful for every hand and every heart that makes this life-changing program possible.
