Razzberry is more than a horse—he's a gentle soul whose calm presence and intuitive nature make him an invaluable partner in healing. Through the Shea Center's therapeutic riding program, Razzberry supports individuals facing health challenges, offering comfort, building confidence, and creating profound connections that traditional therapy often cannot provide.
