Horseback riding improves muscle strength throughout the body, and our individualized class activities enhance self-confidence and interpersonal connections with the instructors, volunteers and horses. All benefit from the enjoyment of equalizing opportunities all while being on the back of a horse. Our therapeutic program also encompasses the Equine Facilitated Learning. These programs enhance self-help skills and resiliency using our equine partners who act in the moment, reward positive interactions and offer a non-judgmental connection. Our Able Body Riding classes and camps may be a misnomer. Many of these riders could qualify for the Therapeutic Riding program, but perhaps their parents choose not to identify their children with disabilities or challenges. Other riders may be struggling with trauma, but do not have a diagnosis that puts a label on their challenges. Some of the ABR riders do qualify for the TR program, however, are more independent in riding their horses and can participate with less support. We served 76 students in the Therapeutic riding program, 2 students in the Equine Facilitated Learning program,48 students in the able-bodied program and 60 students in our camps. One area we cannot skimp in is our equine care funds. Our horses are evaluated and trained to ensure the safest equine partners for our participants. Once a horse is part of our program, we ensure they receive the health and welfare services they earn. Farrier, veterinary and chiropractor services are a must for our partners who had no choice but to be a part of our program. Many of our horses come to us young and give us many years of service. Some of our horses come to us as seniors with some productive years still ahead of them, but all of them require grain, hay, supplements, medications, and other necessities. All horses who are no longer able to participate in our program are found forever homes. We will never, ever abandon a horse to an unknown location. When the unthinkable happens and a horse must be euthanized, we ensure the most humane treatment available to minimize suffering or pain.
