Through Watermark for Kids, Maya was provided with a new riding helmet, boots, and riding lessons at Lee’s Riding Stable in Litchfield.
“Maya is a very special young lady who loves being outdoors and riding horses,” said DiFiore. “We are thrilled to give her the opportunity to learn more about riding, and to help support her interest in nature and animals.”
The Watermark at East Hill launched its local chapter of Watermark for Kids in 2010. Since then, children from New Milford, Waterbury and Newtown have been named “Watermark Kids.”
