Special Therapy for Gabriel kids ...
A number of Gabriel children have experienced Special Equestrian therapeutic horseback riding for children with disabilities.
The Ravish family had horses for years prior to founding The Gabriel Ministry. Knowing and experiencing what benefits horses afford, lead the Ravishs to Special Equestrian here in Fort Myers. Horseback riding has helped the Gabriel kids to better their concentration, self-confidence, balance, good posture and a sense of freedom. The Gabriel kids are, for the most part ‘over achievers’. They want to succeed and they do succeed.

The Care (Caring for the Children)
A very special person, Anne Ravish is co-founder of the Gabriel House and Special Ed teacher.
The Children’s daily schedule, meals, school arrangements, volunteer participation etc. are her responsibility.
All the staff must complete an application with personal history, references and background screening prior to working with the children.
