Ride To Walk (RTW) is a year-round therapeutic horseback riding program founded by Kris Corn in 1985. Its mission is to enhance the quality of life for children and young adults with nuerological impairments. Ride To Walk received non-profit status in 1988 and is NARHA certified. We currently help 45 children who ride once a week, children with autism, cerebral palsy, Attention Deficit Disorder, Muscular Dystrophy, head trauma and sensory processing challenges.
The goals of the program are based on therapeutic intervention to achieve increased balance and control, improved language and socialization skills while enhancing self esteem and providing exercise and enjoyment.
The program offers weekly riding sessions. Each child ride for one thirty minute session per week under the supervision of a trained riding instructor, therapist and two to three volunteers. Each session is individually designed to meet the special needs of each rider.
