Equine Assisted Activities

Equine assisted activities consist of equestrian

skill based lessons. The focus of the lessons are skill development and progression.

 

Classes are taught by a PATH International Certified Instructor or CHA Certified Instructor and assisted by volunteers. Often participants will assist in pre and post–mounted horse care. Individuals with physical, cognitive, developmental, and/or social/emotional differences 

can all benefit from equine assisted activities.

​

Clients must be at least 4 years old to participate. The focus of these lessons are to work toward providing an improved mood and focus, patience, self-discipline, strength and confidence through the experience of therapeutic riding and groundwork activities.
