Notes

Harness Driving:
Harness Driving is another program option at PHR. Carriage driving is in some ways more suitable than riding for some people with disabilities.
It provides:

  • Opportunities for those who are unable to ride astride a horse and presents an enjoyable sporting event.
  • Driving a horse offers clients a sense of independence and accomplishment.
  • Opportunities for wheelchair clients to learn to rely entirely on hand and voice commands to make his/her wishes known to the horse.
  • Develops the client's confidence and self-esteem.
  • Develops sensory and visual integration.
  • Strengthens arms and hands and enhances cognitive skills.
