Therapeutic Riding 

Therapeutic riding is an equine-assisted service for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of individuals with special needs.
 
Some of the many Benefits of Therapeutic Riding
  • Development of mobility, balance, and co-ordination
  • Improvement of muscle tone and strength
  • Increased concentration and improved learning skills
  • A challenging recreational activity
  • Independence, integration, and a sense of achievement
  • Development of self-confidence and motivation
 
Before participating in a Therapeutic Riding Program, all rider candidates must have a medical doctor complete a physician referral form. People with disabilities should not participate in therapeutic riding until a medical advisor and another appropriate professional such as a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist, have evaluated them and determined that riding is a safe and suitable activity for them. The program reserves the right to determine the candidate’s suitability for inclusion in the program. If riders experience any changes in the nature or extent of their disability, they must obtain a physician’s update.
