Notes

Therapeutic riding benefits the body, mind and spirit. Physical benefits include improved:

  • muscle tone
  • gait
  • balance
  • posture

Cognitive skills are improved by lessons that include:

  • following directions
  • sequencing during riding activities

Potential riders will be invited for an evaluation ride once a place becomes available in the program.

Therapeutic riding lessons are $50 per lesson and riders register per session.

Participants ride in small group lessons of two or three with a NARHA certified instructor. Please be aware that Simple Changes currently has a weight limit of 175 pounds for riders.

The first lesson will serve as an evaluation. If it is deemed by the Program Director at the evaluation that: 1) the applicant does not want to participate in or would not benefit from therapeutic riding; or, 2) therapeutic riding is not appropriate for the applicant or the applicant�s family; then there will be a one-time evaluation fee of $50 and the applicant will be removed from the Simple Changes schedule and wait-list.
