Therapeutic Riding provides healthy exercise to individuals with special needs by allowing them to participate in horseback riding or ground lessons in a success oriented environment.

​

The benefits of therapeutic riding are not only physical in nature or only reserved for individuals with a physical disability. There are emotional and psychological benefits as well.

We love seeing our students thrive in our lesson program. Developing skills for life and learning to enjoy another creature that does not judge and always has a listening ear.

We are not therapists, but riding instructors.

​

​

  • Improved posture
