“The Sunshine Girls” from Devine Providence Village, Marple Newtown
In 2001 two lovely ladies, who were long
time supporters of Thorncroft, bequeathed
a generous gift to the Farm which is now
known as The Sara and Toby Wolfberg
Scholarship Fund for Therapeutic Horseback Riding. The “sisters” wanted to ensure
that every rider would receive the unique
therapy offered by Thorncroft regardless of
their financial circumstances. Today it is our
pleasure to pass this gift on to riders Ingrid,
Kate and Kathleen from the program “Devine
Providence Village in Marple Newtown, PA.”
Ingrid, Kate and Kathleen have been rid-
ing at Thorncroft since 2008. Every Thursday
afternoon at precisely 1:00 they appear. Their
bright smiles and lovely personalities are so
big, the entire Farm lights up. When their ride
is over and the ladies leave we always wonder
who got the most out of their time on the
Farm, the instructors, our volunteers, or the
ladies; it is a “win win” for all!
With gratitude we thank the Wolfberg
Sisters and with our own special joy we pass
the scholarship on to the ladies Ingrid, Kate
and Kathleen.
The Thorncroft Mission
Our mission is to develop the physical and emotional well-being of all people including
those with special needs. We are committed to personal growth and education in an
equestrian environment of respect and love.
Thorncroft is a member of:
- Professional Association of
Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.)
- The Pennsylvania Council on Therapeutic Horsemanship
- The Riding for the Disabled Association

Thorncroft Mainstreamers
When these riders come together and perform their musical drill on
horseback you feel a magic in the air, a magic created by “The Thorncroft
Mainstreamers,” a group of eight riders of varying abilities. They have
performed in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware sharing
with their audiences an extraordinary ability which goes beyond their riding
skills. The Team is an example of growing and of sharing lives together,
of accomplishing major goals others thought impossible.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
It is impossible within this space to thank everyone who has helped to make this
evening such a wonderful event. We would however like to express our appreciation
to the following friends for making tonight the spectacular evening that it is.
This year we are most proud of the artwork, layout and design of our invitation
and the evening’s program book. Special thanks go to Genevieve Snyder of Genevieve Fine Art and her piece “Let Love Take the Reins” the cover art for the invitation
and program. Also thanks to Catalyst Outdoor Advertising of Malvern, and Ellis
Design Group of Glen Mills for their contributions to the invitation and program,
Mary Hunt Davis of Malvern and Kersten Hoerner for their photography.
On each of the tables and throughout the ballroom, you will see spectacular floral
arrangements designed by TableArt of Wayne. Special thanks to Kathy Warden and
her amazing staff for the creations tonight.
Our program book has a wealth of information to offer about the Farm and tonight’s event. The invitations and program look better and better every year. We
are thankful for the job well done by Star Printing of West Chester, Pa.
Thanks to the donations of vans from Team Toyota of Glenn Mills we transported
over 400 silent Auction items to the Bellevue.
As you visit the Red & Clover Room, please thank the volunteers for their help
tonight. They are here to answer any of your questions you may have about the
Auction and this year’s electronic bidding through BidPal.
Since 1969 the Staff and Board of Directors at Thorncroft have continued their
commitment to serve people of all abilities. An accelerated training program has
been launched for the instructors. The Staff attends clinics and seminars on all
aspects of horsemanship to learn how people with physical and emotional disabilities
can best benefit from therapeutic riding. We will continue to seek out and employ
top clinicians from around the world so our instructors may reach their full potential
in a progressive facility. Your support tonight will enable Thorncroft to continue it’s
work... and over 350 students a week will benefit from the process of continuing
education. From the Staff, Board and Riders at Thorncroft, we thank you for your
participation. YOU have made it possible for us to strive to be the best in our field.
