We offer inclusive Recreational Riding for individuals of all abilities and riding skill levels, from beginners to advanced riders. We place riders in the appropriate class based on their skill set and goals. For those looking for more of a clinical approach, we recommend our Occupational and Physical Therapy Utilizing Equine program which is provided by a therapist.

Recreational Riding offers opportunities for participants to gain experience in both mounted and unmounted activities. Participants develop riding skills such as balance and coordination, and learn important aspects of horse care, including grooming, feeding, and stable management. Lessons are tailored to each participant’s individual needs and goals, ensuring a personalized experience that supports growth at their own pace.  These experiences not only promote physical, cognitive, and emotional growth, but also help participants build meaningful relationships with the horses, fostering trust and empathy. Participants work in a safe, supportive environment that encourages confidence and skill development, both in and out of the saddle.
