What is Therapeutic Riding? Therapeutic riding uses equine oriented activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well being of individuals with varying types and degrees of special needs through adaptive riding and therapeutic riding. Equine activities are used to achieve goals, with the horse being a strong motivator for accomplishing these goals. Emphasis is on a positive, enjoyable, and relaxing experience that provides additional therapeutic benefits in the areas of socialization, posture, strength, mobility, and an overall improved quality of life. Testimonial Vickie, Sarah’s Mom “Sarah is just a different kid now! Since she started to ride at ATRC she is much more focused, more concentrated at school and her communication skills as well as social skills have gone way up! Her physical abilities have also tremendously improved. Before riding Sarah could walk only a short distance, now she has the strength to go for long walks and yesterday she even weeded the yard!“ Rider, Sarah rides weekly.
