ROCKFORD, Mich. (WZZM)-  An open house and ribbon cutting ceremony will be held in Rockford on Wednesday.

That’s where students from Grand Rapids Community College have teamed up with the Equest Center for Therapeutic Riding to work on a renovation project.

The Equest Center has been in West Michigan for the past 20 years. In that time, it has become popular for how it uses horseback riding as therapy. High demand resulted in the center’s need to expand, and the partnership with GRCC has allowed them to do just that.
