Horses have been used in therapy since as far back as the Ancient Greeks. Even then, it was understood that riding was more than a means of transportation, it was also a way of improving the health and well-being of people with disabilities.

Therapeutic Riding is the use of horseback riding and activities with the horses to improve a variety of disabilities ranging from Traumatic Brain Injury and paralysis to Autism and Down Syndrome.  It now also includes Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, the use of horses and activities with horses to address people with behavioral and antisocial behavior.  The wonderful thing about Therapeutic Riding is that it can be tailored to the individuals needs and problems. 

Our vision is to provide therapeutic riding and other equine related activities to individuals with special physical, emotional, and cognitive needs in a safe and fun environment. We are a premier accredited NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped Association) Operating Center and adhere to the standards of this association. Research shows that therapeutic riding can provide remarkable physical, emotional, and mental benefits. A horse's movement stimulates the rider's body in a manner that closely resembles the gait of a human. This motion promotes muscle strength, increases endurance, and improves posture, balance and coordination. Relationships formed with horses and volunteers bring increased confidence, patience, and self-esteem.
