Ride to Walk

The rhythmic movement of the horse, the warmth of its body, the supporting hands of the volunteers, and the love and joy felt in the arena are Ride To Walk.

Ride to WalkRide To Walk is a year round therapeutic riding program for handicapped children, which coordinates physical and emotional therapy into a unique experience. The program is specifically designed to address the needs of children who are neurologically handicapped. 
The goals of the program are based on therapeutic intervention to achieve increased balance and control, improved language and socialization skills while enhancing self-esteem and providing exercise and enjoyment.

The program offers weekly riding sessions. Each child ride for one thirty minute session per week under the supervision of a trained riding instructor, therapist and two to three volunteers. Each session is individually designed to meet the special needs of each rider.

The excitement of mastering new skills, the social interaction with other riders, volunteers and staff, and caring for the horses, are all vital components in the success of the Ride To Walk program.

The most important ingredient in this success is our volunteer staff that make it possible to see the delighted smiles of the Ride To Walk children.
