Randolph Center, VT: This past Saturday the Vermont Tech Men's Basketball team volunteered at the High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program.  High Horses is a program that improves the wellbeing of people of all ages with special needs through a therapeutic equine experience.

Marquise Moore- Junior Guard

"It felt good to be able to go out and help the community and show them that we support them. It's always nice to have the opportunity to get to know people within the community and for them to know that they can always reach out to us."

Julie Ann Otis- Development Manager at High Horses

"High Horses is so grateful for the tremendous help the Vermont Tech Basketball team provided to us Saturday morning!! Despite some messy weather and tents that didn't want to be put together, the team was present, willing and committed to helping. They are so good natured, fun, and incredibly helpful. The school should be very proud of this team!  Simply put, we could not have done this event without them."

Jamal Hughes- Head Basketball Coach

"Sometimes hearing compliments like that is better than winning any game.These guys represent our college well in the community and we are certainly proud of their willingness to volunteer. We are grateful to High Horses for allowing us to help and for all they do for the community. What they do for the special needs community is nothing short of amazing and we are just happy to help them."
