                       Monday, September 19, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor the 5th anniversary 
of Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education Center in Aldie, Virginia. 
The center provides equine assisted activities and therapies for those 
seeking opportunities for personal growth.
  With seven horses and a dedicated staff, the center seeks to raise 
awareness about special needs while providing a dynamic environment for 
participants to learn and socialize. Their riding lessons focus on 
gaining riding skills, increasing physical strength, and achieving the 
rider's desired social, emotional, and life skills. Their work is an 
inspiration and I am proud to have such a wonderful organization in the 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join in recognizing the 5th 
anniversary of Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education Center and 
thanking all those who provide comfort and support to our neighbors in 
need. I know the center will continue to provide excellent 
opportunities for any who wish to partake. I wish them all the best in 
their future endeavors.
