Therapeutic Riding
For ages 5 - adult

Therapeutic
riding ministers to the body, mind, and spirit of
children and adults with disabilities. Horses can provide a distinctive
type of therapy to the body through sensory input of pressure and
movement, improving muscle strength, coordination and balance. Students
will have a great time learning while developing social skills and
horsemanship knowledge. Prospective
students of Therapeutic riding must complete an application packet
before acceptance into the program. Existing students must
submit a registration form and $35 deposit for each session a
month before the session begins. Balance is due from
student's responsible party no later than the last class of
the session. To register click
