DES MOINES, Iowa [KCCI] ā€” Hundreds of volunteers rode horseback across the state on Saturday to raise money for adults and children with disabilities. Pony Express Riders of Iowa raises funds for Easterseals Iowa & Camp Sunnyside in Des Moines. Local groups ride horses across the state “relay style” to bring in the funds throughout the year.

Last Saturday, everyone involved with the nonprofit paraded together to celebrate their achievements. Their mission is for all Iowans to be able to experience the joys of camp. The group has donated more than $12 million to support the organization over the last five decades.
