Therapeutic Horseback Riding Lessons

Therapeutic Horseback Riding Lessons

Therapeutic Riding involves teaching riding skills to riders with disabilities, with adaptations as needed. The primary goal of therapeutic riding is to learn riding and horsemanship skills. However, as the movement of the horse is inherently therapeutic, riders frequently enjoy secondary benefits such as increased postural control, balance, strength and speech.

Unmounted/Ground Therapy 

Ground therapy is built around interactions with horses.  This type of therapy  can be used to assist people with mental and emotional difficulties, including anxiety and mood disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), behavioral challenges, or undergoing life transitions or losses.
