A therapeutic riding center, providing horse-based therapy using clinical interventions for functional life gain to individuals with physical, mental, & emotional challenges.

Therapeutic horseback riding is a very powerful tool. Normal movement is needed for learning as well as improving physical function. The dimensional movement of the horse provides stimulation to the rider that normalizes both physical and mental activity. It helps hyperactive children calm and center themselves. Riding provides gait training for non-ambulatory individuals as well. Autistic children appear to have better concentration and focus when riding.
