Therapeutic riding lessons and facilitation sessions
Each participant starts with an individual assessment. The program then builds a custom plan around the person's needs and their doctor's recommendations, and matches them with a suitably sized and trained horse, volunteers and trained therapy staff. Therapy riding lessons teach basic skills such as balance and steering, with volunteers helping with mounting, dismounting and leading the horse. Facilitation sessions are led by certified equine-assisted facilitators, on the ground (grooming, leading, lunging) or on horseback (trail riding, arena work, obstacle courses), and aim at emotional regulation and confidence. A licensed psychologist is on staff for participants needing more oversight, such as for PTSD. Traditional English and Western lessons are also offered. Lessons need 24 hours' notice to cancel. Prices are not published.
