Therapeutic Riding

Taught by PATH International certified instructors, therapeutic riding is a developmental riding therapy program. This program utilizes horseback riding for clients with physical, mental, cognitive, social or behavioral problems. It often serves as a continuation of the treatment an individual received previously in hippotherapy beyond just improvement in the individual’s confidence and discipline while improving gross and fine motor skills, posture, balance, and coordination. Therapeutic riding participants develop more refined horsemanship skills and many go on to compete in Special Olympics, Chisholm Challenge and other competitions.
