Brochure
Our
equine therapy program is truly remarkable. Using therapeutic
techniques taught by the North American Riding for the
Handicapped Association (NARHA), we seek to enhance physical,
psychological, cognitive and emotional healing process of the
rider. We aim to provide safe, enjoyable riding programs for all
levels of ability. The overall goal is to improve the lives of
participants by promoting excellence in equine assisted
activities.
Programs run
from mid June to the end of August and are available Monday
through Saturday. Other times of the year may be scheduled
according to availability. Instruction is provided by Peggy
Thompson, who is certified by the NARHA.
