We offer adaptive riding classes to individuals who have been diagnosed with a physical, developmental, intellectual, or cognitive issue. Adaptive riding classes offer transformative benefits for individuals with disabilities by providing them with a unique blend of physical, emotional, and social support. These classes not only enhance physical abilities like balance, coordination, and muscle strength through the rhythmic motion of horseback riding, but they also boost confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, the bond formed between riders and their horses fosters a deep sense of connection and trust, which can be incredibly therapeutic. The inclusive and supportive community environment further helps riders build social skills and feel a strong sense of belonging and empowerment.
Classes are offered in 8-week semesters on the following days:
- Monday Evenings
- Tuesday Evenings
- Wednesday Mornings (individual lessons only)
- Thursday Evenings
- Saturday Mornings
Every class is 45 minutes, once per week for 8 weeks. The cost per semester is $250.
