“Provide physically, developmentally, and emotionally challenged individuals an opportunity for emotional and physical growth through horsemanship.”

“Conducted over 600 sessions to 46 riders during 2017 to provide riders with developmental, emotional and physical needs the experience of relaxation thru horseback riding. The walking gait of the horse simulates the movement of a healthy persons pelvis when walking on two legs. During a therapeutic riding session, this action relaxes and stimulates unused muscles while building muscle tone, improving balance, coordination and joint mobility. Volunteers and instructors use the horses movement to stimulate specific neuromuscular reactions. For riders with emotional disorders, horseback riding lessons help improve concentration, increase confidence, patience and self esteem. A sense of achievement is also an important emotional milestone for our riders, and enhances the motivation toward recovery and further therapy. Bonds are established between horse and rider, which can lead to continued self confidence, patients and comfort. We are proud to offer such a distinct and natural method of therapy for children of all ages. The experience of working with an equine is one that cant be matched, and we are thankful and proud of the riders who have benefited from our program and facility.”
