Our Mission:

Our purpose is to provide a therapeutic equestrian environment with a complete range of services to those experiencing challenges - providing an experience of life by empowering clients with a freedom, independence and accomplishment which cannot be achieved or duplicated in the traditional therapy settings.

We are dedicated to pursuing knowledge and awareness of the most current therapies because we hold ourselves responsible for providing the highest quality equine activities for individuals, families & groups. 

 




 

The Magic of the Movement:

Horses are natural therapy tools.  Their walking gait almost perfectly simulates the movement of a person's pelvis when walking on two healthy legs. During a therapeutic riding session, the therapist directs the horse's movements to stimulate specific neuromuscular reactions. This action relaxes and stimulates unused muscles, builds muscle tone, and improves balance, coordination and joint mobility. This mobility is therapeutic for almost every type of disability.

 In the case of mental or emotional disorders and victims of trauma, the process of learning to ride is used to improve social skills, concentration, increase confidence, patience and build self esteem.

  
 
     

A Unique Bond Between Horse and Rider:

Therapy experts have found that patients respond to the horses with an enthusiasm that can't be matched in the traditional clinical environment.  Our horses accept each individual unconditionally, no questions asked.  The strong bond that soon develops becomes a vital part of therapy.

The Team:

Our therapy team includes a horse, a therapist or certified riding instructor, and volunteers who work directly with the horse and rider to ensure safety. Each horse is carefully chosen for its quiet personality and suitable movement, then specially trained for this type of work.
