Ride UP Veterans' Program

This program is FREE to veterans and
Uniformed Professionals (first responders).
If you'd like to join us, please contact us for more details.

Here is Lonnie, a Cold War veteran who thoroughly enjoyed his first day in the Ride UP program.

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.

Solar Open House at BITS

Join us for a solar open house and see what's new in the NEIGH-borhood! Enjoy free food and drinks plus music. Donations accepted to fund equine therapy for those with special needs.

BITS offsets 100% of its electric load with sunshine---enabling savings of more than $112K over the next 25 years. Through group net metering, the 17.92-kilowatt array provides power for the barn, home and former schoolhouse on the property.

ReVision Energy will lead tours of the solar array and help you learn how to start your clean energy transition. For each person who signs up during the event for a complimentary site evaluation of their home or business, ReVision Energy will make a donation to BITS.
