Craig, another veteran, first came to BITS as a volunteer.  He left for a while, but his great enthusiasm and dedication for our mission brought him back to us where he not only helps out with the horses and grounds, but is a member of our board of directors and liaison with the New Hampshire VA.  Here he is on Disco, courtesy of our Ride UP program. 
A First Responder from Henniker works with one of our certified instructors.
