The ACE (Accommodating Challenged Equestrians) Equestrian Therapy Program strives to benefit and enrich the lives of individuals with all types of disabilities through recreational and therapeutic horseback riding. This nonprofit program was created in 1992 to provide recreational and therapeutic horseback riding for northwest Ohio children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. After stops in St. Joseph, Ind., and Hicksville, the program landed three summers ago at Walnut Hills Farms on State Rt. 2 near the Defiance-Williams county line.
The program, which is associated and insured with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, provides activities that enhance mental and physical skills, aid in mobilization, promote communication and socialization, and build self-esteem and independence.
