NBC News to feature Maryland riding program Friday

The Friday edition of NBC Nightly News with Brain Williams is scheduled to air a report on the "Horses for Heroes" program at Maryland Therapeutic Riding in Crowsville.

Reported by Nora O'Donnell for the broadcast's weekly "Making a Difference" segment, the feature looks at soldiers from Fort Meade's Warriors in Transition unit who have returned with serious injuries from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. This week, seven of the soldiers graduated from an eight-week therapeutic riding program at the Crowsville center.

NBC Nightly News, network TV's highest-rated evening newscast, airs at 6:30 p.m. on WBAL (Channel 11).

The report was taped Thursday at the center. NBC confirmed that it is scheduled to air Friday during the newcast. But a major breaking news story can alter the lineup.
