Notes

Our classes are comprised of students with a wide range of disabilities. We provide services to the Coweta County School System Special Education classes and any other individuals that qualify.

Therapeutic riding is widely recognized as one of the most beneficial types of therapeutic recreation available. It helps develop self-awareness, builds self-confidence, self-discipline, and improves concentration. Horseback riding also improves posture, balance and coordination, increases joint mobility, strengthens and relaxes muscles.

A riding program gives the handicapped a feeling of freedom and independence and an awareness of body in space that would be very difficult to obtain by conventional therapy. Exercising the spirit as well as the body provides an enormous boost for volunteers and participants alike.
