In addition, the interior of the arena was improved with fibar footing. With the extra weather-protected riding space and enhanced riding and walking surface, Miracles in Motion riders are better equipped to achieve their dreams!   This improvement was possible due in large part to several grants and donations from local organizations as well as companies who donated materials and labor. Here they are!

sounds and touch.
