Adaptive Riding

Adaptive riding ministers to the body, mind, and spirit of children and adults with disabilities. Students will have a great time learning while developing social skills and horsemanship knowledge. Our instructors tailor each lesson to the level of the students and encourage them to grow in their confidence and ability.

 

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.
