Last week, Sophia was diagnosed with ulcers and she just hasn’t been the same since then. On the advice of her wonderful veterinarian, Dr. Ashbrook, we transported her to Brazos Animal Hospital where she will be treated for colic with IV fluids, special compounded medications and round the clock care.
Only the best for our Sophia! However, the best does come at a cost. Our vet bill has already exceeded $2000 with her scope and new medications for the next 30 days. This hospitalization will add to that, but Sophia is such a huge part of the Open My World family, she deserves everything that we can do for her.
Please consider a donation to Sophia’s Vet Bill to help us help our sweet mare.

We are so happy to announce that the City of Leander has decided to honor Donna Roland, founder of Open My World Therapeutic Riding Center, by naming a street after her! Donna’s legacy lives on in the wonderful non-profit she developed for those with special needs in our community. Moreover, by her commitment to this program after a full career as an educator, Donna’s life serves as a beautiful example of how to live a life of dedicated service. Her dream gave our community a very special place where those who have discovered the joy in serving others can volunteer. Her dream opens a world of new possibilities to those with special needs.
