Adaptive riding services are led by a PATH Intl. Certified Adaptive Riding Instructor (www.PathIntl.org) who has completed extensive training in utilizing horseback riding activities to achieve specific therapeutic goals for individuals with unique needs. Our PATH Intl. Certified Instructors are not licensed therapists and do not provide clinical counseling services to riders. Unlike traditional riding lessons, volunteers assist the instructor in leading horses or assisting a rider's stability in the saddle. Activities may include goals such as relationship building, self-confidence, communication and basic horsemanship.
Each adaptive riding term occurs over an 8 week period. During that period, each rider will work towards a therapeutic goal based on their individual needs and unique abilities. Lessons available for ages 5 years and up.
