Therapeutic Riding Program

Taught by instructors who are certified by PATH International - Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (formerly NARHA), Therapeutic Riding lessons are designed for children and adults with physical, cognitive, psychological, and developmental impairments, and are intended to improve the overall quality of life of the rider. Each lesson is designed to meet the individual needs and goals of each rider based on an initial assessment of each client's skills and abilities. Our specially trained horses and volunteers ensure that each rider has a unique opportunity to reach their potential in a safe environment.

Therapeutic Riding Session begins

September

17th!

Hippotherapy

A physical, occupational and speech therapy treatment strategy that utilizes movement of the horse. It is provided in a PT, OT and/or Speech treatment session by trained and certified therapists. . In hippotherapy, the rider engages in activities on the horse that are enjoyable and challenging, although specific riding skills are not taught as in therapeutic riding. The therapist directs the horse’s movement and carefully grades sensory input, while the rider benefits from a foundation which is established through the movement of the horse to improve the neurological function and sensory processing.

* A doctor's prescription is required for hippotherapy!
