Therapeutic Riding (TR)

Therapeutic Riding (TR) is recreational horseback riding adapted to individuals with disabilities. The instructor will collaborate with the participant to create a goal for the participant that is focused on developing a riding skill. There are many other benefits to TR including improvement in physical strength, balance, flexibility, motor planning, motor control, social emotional learning, sensory processing, and cognitive functioning.

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is the broad area of learning incorporating equines. The instructor provides an environment integrating equine-human interaction, supported by a planned learning experience, to meet identified goals for the participant. EAL can be used to address an endless multitude of non-riding skills in areas of social emotional learning, mental well-being, and cognition. Benefits include improvement in life skills, creative and critical thinking, self-awareness and empathy, communication and interpersonal skills, and coping with emotions and stress.
