About this service
Our riders, who ride for one hour, once a week experience important physical, psychological and social benefits through an effective combination of therapy, recreation and animal care programs
All programs are one hour in length and there are no age limits for our riders/drivers.
Riders learn how to groom, saddle or harness, play mounted games, do mounted exercises, learn riding and driving skills, take trail rides or drives and learn how to remove saddle or harness. They do a final grooming, thank their horse with a special horse treat or carrot, and then return the horse to pasture. This hands on approach is very useful for individuals who have impaired motor, mobility, perception, cognition, behaviour, mental health and language skills.
