    About Saddle Pals: UCP Saddle Pals provides weekly adapted horsemanship lessons to people with disabilities, age 4 and up. This program promotes growth, independence, and improved quality of life for program participants. Horseback riding is more than just fun- it can help improve coordination, balance, and posture.
