IT’S SUMMERTIME AT DMI

Although we have brought the 2019 Spring Session to a close, there is much going on at Driving Magic. While the heat prevents lessons, we still work with horses, prepare new lessons for fall session, and do a lot of work to keep the activity center and equipment in good shape. Contact us to find out how you can help.

Beyond the supplies needed for our special equines, Driving Magic has a consistent need for supplies to support our students and volunteers. Many of these supplies may be extras you have from your home or office, toys that your children have overgrown, or rewards/gift cards that you may not need. Your donation of these items helps our budget significantly and enables us to more effectively use financial contributions toward funding additional student lessons / workshops and scholarships.
