What makes Therapeutic Riding So Special?
The movement of the walking horse moves the mounted rider’s body in a manner similar to the walking motion of an able-bodied person. The rhythmic motion of the horse initiates automatic balance responses.
Our NARHA certified instructors insure the safety of our riders and a creative and fun atmosphere for this unique activity. The instructors carefully match the riders to appropriate horses and programs.
Additional benefits include:
- Strengthening cognitive and sequential thinking
- Problem solving
- Confidence and self esteem building
- Exposure to positive role models and mentors
- Movement toward achieving individual goals set by schools and therapists
- Socialization.
