Horseback Riding For Those Individuals with Physical or Mental Disabilities

  
There are many benefits of Therapeutic Riding: 

• Riders learn balance, co-ordination and self-assurance while receiving muscle stimulation.
      
• A Rider's posture, strength and flexibility improve.
      
• A strong sense of responsibility as the rider learns to take part in the care of the horses and equipment.
      
• The rider will become more independent as advanced skills, teamwork and cooperation are learned. 
  
• Social skills develop as riders interact with each other, their horses and volunteers.
