Adaptive Riding & Horsemanship

Our Adaptive Riding & Horsemanship program focuses on increasing individual riding & horsemanship skills while gaining a therapeutic benefit. The goals set for each participant vary as much as the riders do and include improved physical strength, muscle tone, balance, mobility and hand-eye coordination. The more subtle improvements are fortified self-esteem, self-control and self-confidence. These classes also develop social skills as participants interact with their classmates, volunteers and instructors while on the horse.

​

At the beginning of each session, the instructor works with the rider and their supporters to develop goals specific to the participant's needs. They then create a wide variety of games and exercises designed to help achieve these goals. The highly individualized lessons take into account the participant's physical, emotional, and mental strengths and limitations. Classes include arena riding, horsemanship skills, and group activities. All participants work on improving their horsemanship skills. With the combination of a trusted horse, instructor, and group of volunteers, riders become more willing to try new things and attain new goals.
