barnMore than 113 local Comcast employees, their families and friends volunteered to improve the grounds of Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding in Havre de Grace as part of Comcast’s eighth annual “Comcast Cares Day” April 25. 

Volunteers painted a pasture fence and parts of the horse barn; spread and leveled donated stone dust in the horse stables; covered the stall floors with donated matting; spread stone dust in walking paths leading to indoor riding center, stables and pastures; cleared out a marked path for a sensory trail; spruced up a small “welcome” garden next to main office and built a wheelchair ramp, new steps and platforms.

(Editor's note: Our condolences to the staff at CTR on the recent passing of "Socks," a beloved 26-year-old mare.) (related HBL article)
