Notes

Therapeutic Riding is offered to clients all year round with programs in both fall and spring semesters and camp programs in the summer.

Therapeutic Riding provides healthy exercise to individuals with disabilities by allowing them to participate in the sport of horseback riding in a success-oriented environment.

The skills learned in riding class can be applied elsewhere in the lives of students. Each time the student has a success in riding, such as learning that there is a way, though it may not always be easy, he or she learns to deal with other problems.

Therapeutic Riding may also benefit those having difficulty with school lessons, as school material such as learning colors and numbers and right/left discrimination is often incorporated into the riding lesson. But, learning on horseback is fun. Most of the time, the students do not even realize that they are learning much more than just how to ride! What they learn in their riding class is often carried back into the classroom without the students ever realizing it.
