Notes

Greenwell offers a comprehensive equestrian program including a horseback riding program with lessons for beginning riders at least seven years of age. Greenwell also offers a Therapeutic Riding Program designed for individuals age seven and older with developmental, physical, or emotional challenges. The TRP is a Center Member of PATH International (formerly the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA).

Founded in 1969 as NARHA, PATH International's mission is to ensure excellence and change lives through equine-assisted activities and therapies. Greenwell's TRP is based on the principles and methods of PATH International.

Riding lessons are offered by session. Each session consists of 12 weekly one-hour lessons (Winter and Summer Sessions are 10 weekly one-hour lessons). A session format offers riders the ability to improve their skills over a specific period of time. Instructors have the time to evaluate each rider and prepare an organized progression plan tailored to individual needs with a documented end goal.
