Our Stable

Whether the goal is improvements in fine motor, gross motor, motor coordination and balance, core strengthening, the natural three dimensional movement of the horse can not be replicated in any other therapeutic setting. The horse's motion engages the mind and body as the rider adjusts to maintain balance. Horses stimulate the senses in a number of ways that are beneficial for improved cognitive functioning and learning. The rider's vision, hearing, sense of touch and smell are all stimulated by the sounds, smells and feel of the horse itself. Working with a team consisting of an instructor and volunteers encourages social interaction and trust. Horses provide immediate feedback and as such are behavior motivators. They provide increased self confidence when a student successfully partners with the horse to complete specific goals. These are just some of the many benefits from horse and human interactions.
