Dr James Ham, a dedicated champion of VARHA for more than 30 years of his life, passed away on October 28th, 2016.  Because of Jim's vision and commitment to creating a venue for children and adults with special needs to receive therapy through horseback riding, VARHA has become a leading state of the art facility. To honor this man, and his tireless efforts to promote VARHA, the board adopted a new name for the rider scholarship fund: The Dr James Ham Riding Scholarship Fund.
