Therapeutic Riding Lessons
Therapeutic riding utilizes horses to enhance physical, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, educational, and social well-being of people with disabilities to help meet their goals and develop skills they can use in their everyday lives. Because the movement of a horse mimics a movement similar to a human gait, riders with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance, and muscle strength. Therapeutic riding also provides benefits in the areas of health, education, sport/recreation, and leisure.
Therapeutic riding lessons are taught by a PATH Certified Instructor with a strong equine background, as well as an understanding of various disabilities. A new rider is generally assisted by a horse leader, as well as one or two sidewalkers who walk alongside the horse to aid the rider if needed.
