What We Do

Our Mission

Through therapeutic horse riding, we improve confidence, well being and abilities of people facing challenges.

We provide riding therapy for children who:

  • Are physically challenged with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, brain injury, stroke or have visual and hearing impairment; or

  • Have intellectual disabilities or multiple disabilities; or

  • Have learning or behavioural difficulties; or

  • Other challenges or disadvantages.

How does horse riding help?

Children with developmental issues gain stimulation in all areas of function, especially perceptual-motor skills, concentration, communication, confidence and social skills.

Children with physical disabilities benefit from the movement of the horse which improves their balance, postural control, co-ordination, strength, mobility, circulation and brain function.

Children with social and emotional challenges experience a calm focus and a learning experience that is uniquely powerful in many ways.
