Ride With Pride Programs
Ride With Pride’s programs are designed to meet the needs of each student. Our horsemanship programs teach our students basic horse care include grooming, proper use of tack, and saddling, as well as basic riding skills.
For those with physical disabilities, riding on the back of a horse provides the gentle motions, rotations, balance and gait patterns they could not perform themselves. This gives the rider a renewed sense of body control and helps build the strength and flexibility to develop in ways that may not have been possible utilizing conventional physical therapies.
Ride with Pride programs also provides therapeutic activities for people with learning disabilities and emotional challenges. The relationship that naturally develops between the rider and the horse, and the requirement for providing care for the animal, fosters responsibility, independence self-esteem and trust –put it all together and you have what we at Ride with Pride call “The Magic.”
Veterans Program
Helps military personnel through a combination of equine activities, recreation, and socialization by following the PATH international Equine Services for Horses Program. Offers opportunities to connect with a horse and build new trust-centered skills. It is tailored to address specific issues faced by wounded and traumatized military personnel. This program provides a supportive and therapeutic environment for the Veteran and their family/loved ones.
Therapeutic Riding
Our staff of professionally trained instructors help our clients learn basic horsemanship skills and riding techniques through the use of equine assisted therapeutic activities. Based on the students’ needs the instructors will create specialized lesson plans that will help improve muscle tone, joint mobility, balance, coordination, posture, confidence, and self-esteem.
