Oct. 4, Horses with a Mission will host its annual fall gala at Arlington Ridge Country Club in Leesburg, FL. Festivities will include a banquet dinner, cash bar, cocktails, raffles, and live entertainment performed by guitarist J.R. Reich. “There is such a need in our community for this program, and there are not a lot [of programs] that do this with horses to help different kids with different abilities.”To learn more about the upcoming gala, visit the Horses with a Mission website at hwamfl.org. D’Angelo and volunteer coordinator Mickey Hollis recently appeared on the Chattin on the Ridge podcast to discuss Horses with a Mission and their upcoming gala.
