I never Thought
I never thought I'd see the day, where a huge animal would carry me away.
I never thought I'd run with ease, and turn left or right as I please.
I never thought freedom was quite like this, I'm glad this is one session I did not miss.
I never thought I'd get out of this chair, and ride across a field upon this mare.
I never thought I could feel so complete, especially as I stand and look up from her feet.
I never thought this dream would come true, but don't ever think never, it could happen for you!

In 1999, Connie and Joel Boggess purchased their farm located in Milton, West Virginia. Golden-Aire Farm was name after Connie's beloved Golden-Retriever Maggie and her horse Aries Legacy. This has allowed RCTRC to have a permanent location. No more leasing stalls!
