Horseback riding is good for the body and soul! The movement of the horse beneath the riders teaches balance and good posture. The effort required in actively moving with the horse and maneuvering it helps with strength and muscle tone. As the riders learn safe and correct riding techniques, they gain self-awareness and confidence. Participants develop a love for and knowledge of their equine friends, while learning more about their own strengths and weaknesses. Caring for their horses needs teaches riders responsibility and kindness. Horseback riding becomes a fun form of therapy and/or recreation as the riders form a bond with the gentle giant under them, and learn to trust their horse. The interaction between horse and rider has been proven to encourage independence, freedom, and a positive self image. There is something about getting a 1500 pound animal to do what you ask it to that gives a rider confidence and joy!

Healing HOOVES is made possible with the support of the

Riding turns 'I wish'

into 'I can'.
