Partnering Humans & Horses to Improve Lives.
Therapeutic equine-assisted services for individuals and groups.
Our Primary Focus
We provide therapeutic equine-assisted services for individuals with physical, cognitive and/or emotional needs.
Throughout the world, horseback riding benefits the bodies, minds, and spirits of individuals with physical, cognitive and /or emotional needs. A horse’s gait, similar to the human walk, helps strengthen spine and pelvic muscles, which improves posture, muscle tone, balance and coordination, and increases joint mobility. Along with the physical benefits, horseback riding gives individuals a feeling of control and freedom that promotes confidence and increased self-esteem. It also helps motivate thinking and concentration as they are required to master riding and/or relationships with the horses.
