Therapeutic RidingOur program provides structured horseback riding sessions to children and adults with varying physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities.
Therapeutic Riding and our BrainOur brain is constantly communicating with our body. It’s constantly assessing its surroundings, making adjustments and compensating to keep us safe and comfortable. Sometimes through injury or illness, the pathways in charge of these tasks become impaired or changed, altering a person’s abilities. But there are great benefits and many improvements that can be realized by Therapeutic Riding. Amazingly, the walking gait of a horse most closely resembles that of a human. When a person with disabilities rides a horse, that rocking rhythm begins to exercise those pathways and the body begins to respond.
