The Sprout 5k is being held to raise awareness for Sprout Therapeutic
& Education Riding Center in Aldie, Virginia. Sprout is a
non-profit organization that provides equine assisted activities and
therapies that positively impact individuals with special needs. It is
important to raise the awareness of the special needs of this program
and to provide dynamic learning, recreation, and socialization and
therapy opportunities in this unique farm environment. Sprout provides
therapeutic riding lessons, community based instruction for public
schools, adaptive recreation and equine-assisted learning and
psychotherapy programs for youth and adults. In 2012 alone, Sprout
provided services to over 390 individuals with the help of nearly 175
dedicated volunteers.

needs, special programing, facility support and the care and feeding of
the therapy horses.
