“Diana did a HorseSense visit at Bay State Learning Center, and our kids had a great time! The activity was very hands-on and interactive, and Diana was very professional, accommodating, and flexible. Everyone learned something new, and she was kind enough to leave the kids with t-shirts.”
— Terry Tarantelli-Louison, Programming Mentor at Bay State Learning Center
