Get ready to run the farm for a great cause! It is time for the EQUI-KIDS Cross Country 5K at their beautiful 92-acre facility in Virginia Beach Saturday, May 5.

EQUI-KIDS provides equine therapy to a diverse group of riders weekly and offers support to individuals with a wide range of disabilities.

They also have an amazing program, EQUI-VETS, that offers physical and mental healing through equine activities for our armed service members wounded in the line of duty. This event helps fund the program that allows them to continue to use the power of horse therapy to so many people right here in our community.
