Helping Horse Therapeutic Programs About Therapeutic Riding
Therapeutic Riding provides recreational therapy disguised as fun for people with disabilities in the Triangle area.
(1)

We provide equine-assisted programs that foster joy and well-being through connections with our horses and team members in an uplifting and inclusive environment. Trained volunteers lead the horses while one or more "side walkers" provide support and assistance to the rider according to his or her needs. Riders receive strength and coordination therapy while also learning horsemanship skills. Bene

fits of Therapeutic Riding:
• develops balance
• increases coordination
• strengthens muscles
• promotes independence
• builds self-confidence

Why Therapeutic Riding? Horseback riding pushes the rider physically, emotionally and mentally, especially the rider with special needs. The strenuous physical demands of horseback riding stimulate the development of strength, endurance, balance, coordination and flexibility. Riding as therapy allows development of physical capabilities in a stimulating, natural environment. Some of our riders who have been non-verbal for years have spoken their first words on horseback. The exhilaration of being in tune with an animal so large and strong is empowering for people whose day-to-day dealings with the physical environment are so difficult. Developing a “seat” builds self-confidence and security that extend beyond enhanced enjoyment of our classes to improved emotional well-being generally. The joy of riding provides a recreational and social outlet for riders and their families for whom such opportunities are usually limited. Outcomes of Therapeutic Riding:
• understanding human differences
• acceptance
• social experiences
