7 Star Therapeutic Riding Center

7 Star Therapeutic Riding Center Our Vision: To facilitate healing of the mind, body, and spirit through the grace and strength of the horse. The gait of the horse mimics that of a human.

7 Star serves clients with many types of disabilities including: ADHD-ADD, autism, Down’s Syndrome, CP, MS, MR, MD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, amputees, Rett Syndrome, visually and hearing impaired, etc. We also serve veterans experiencing a range of physical and psychological disabilities. Therapeutic Riding provides an alternative form of therapy that cannot be obtai

ned through conventional therapy. Through the motion of the horse, clients develop core muscle strength, and stimulation of brain patterns, which improves balance and coordination. Clients learn to concentrate and focus on riding, which helps with sequencing, and learning to follow oral instructions. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy or "EAP" uses horses in the therapeutic process instead of traditional “talk” therapy. The horse helps the client understand how personal behavior and attitude affects those around us. Once clients understand the things they are responsible for in a relationship, they learn to modify their behavior in order to improve the bond with the horse. These changes are then applied to their life in the real world with spouses, co-workers, children and other more complex human interactions. Clients develop a bond with the horse, which provides the motivation to be successful in life.
