Therapeutic Riding
- Therapeutic Riding offers a great opportunity to improve posture, balance, communication skills, sensory processing and more! Riding experiences provide participants a unique bond with animals; specific skills in riding, grooming, and communicating with horses; and opportunities to work on skills for following directions, teamwork, and more.
- Our stable of 12 specially chosen and trained horses offers many breeds, sizes, and personalities to accommodate a wide range of riders. We offer mounting ramps, a variety of gear, and a four-season barn to protect the safety and comfort of our riders and their families.
- Siblings and other riders without disabilities may attend Community Riding Lessons as well.
- 45-minute lessons are scheduled throughout the week and weekends, and include grooming and horse care, as well as instructional/mounted time.
Therapeutic Carriage Driving
- Founded on the principles of our therapeutic riding program, Carriage Driving broadens the accessibility that Riding Programs can offer to some participants who cannot ride a horse. Learn to control a horse pulling your carriage while you sit beside a driving instructor! This accessible activity is a great way to learn horse skills, as well as improve communication, engagement, and behavioral skills.
- 45-minute lessons are scheduled Tuesdays through Saturdays, and include grooming and horse care, as well as instructional time in the carriage.
Tuition: $55 per lesson.

This increasingly popular method helps clients meet their individual clinical goals including: improved gait, mobility, strength, and balance; sensory processing and modulation skills; & endurance and independence. Therapists also target communication and behavioral skills through these therapies. Learn more about hippotherapy here.
