We look to encourage an "I can do it" attitude for those who have been previously limited in their abilities.
Riding horses is a physical activity that can offer many therapeutic benefits. Many riders experience a connection to the horse that few sports can create. For those riders who can not walk, the horse is their vehicle of transport. Horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves the rider’s body in a manner similar to human movement patterns of the pelvis while walking.
The rhythmic motion of the horse acts as a powerful tool to improve documented benefits of strength, flexibility and balance. Riding also brings mental rewards and improves cognitive abilities.
