Question

15．Raised by a single mother in Hartford，F(xiàn)red Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another．He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for．
"I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，"he said．"I couldn't handle it．I didn't care about life anymore．"But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly．
"I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly．I wasn't used to strictness．I wasn't used to hearing the word‘no'，"said Wright，now 17．
Kelly，a former soldier and an equestrian （騎手），took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place-on a horse．
"Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole''，Kelly said．"He was hurting．He needed a place where he could express himself．The riding field became that place for him．"
For the last 30 years，Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit，Ebony Horsewomen．The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young  people a year．By exposing those children to horsemanship，Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around．
"We use horses as a hook to create pride，esteem and healing，"said Kelly，66．"They learn that they have ability．They just have to unlock it．"
"When you teach a child to ride a horse，they learn they are the center of their environment''，said Kelly．"Once they make that connection，they can change what happens in school，at home and in the community．"
