Notes

Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center provides horseback riding therapy to people with disabilities in the mid-Missouri area.

Programs include:
  • Motion Therapy (also called Hippotherapy, "hippo" is Latin for horse) is a form of riding in which the horse is used as a therapeutic modality to directly affect the body while the rider sits on the horse�s back in a variety of positions. An Occupational or Physical Therapist provides actions and exercises that enhance stability, balance, and coordination.
  • In Sport Therapy each student learns basic horsemanship skills and emphasis is placed on developing and refining physical and cognitive abilities needed to independently control the horse in a variety of situations. Goal setting is done with a therapist. Classes are taught by a certified instructor in conjunction with an occupational therapist.
  • Mainstreamed Recreational Riding provides opportunities for improved social interaction and exploration of the environment with some skill-building to enhance general health and well-being. Clients will have the opportunity to compete in local shows and events.
