Project Title: Therapeutic Riding Program
Project Description:

Therapeutic Riding is a mounted program with the goal of teaching riding skills adapted for those with physical and cognitive challenges to positively impact the wellbeing of the special needs student. Therapeutic Riding rhythmically moves the rider’s body in a motion similar to the human gait. A rider may experience therapeutic movement of their hips up to 2,500 times in a way that is not replicable using rehabilitative machinery. Therapeutic Riding is a program adapted to the needs of individual clients that enhance cognitive, perceptual and motor skills. Objectives include improved circulation, balance, coordination, strength, tone, postural reactions, agility, self-confidence, social adjustment, mental and physical relaxation. The vast majority of clients achieve developmental, physical and empowerment benefits through exercising control of their environment. Services also deliver strong feelings of self-worth and improved confidence. Students attend class once a week for 30 weeks. Lessons are usually a 45 minutes to an hour-long.
