Re-Define The Way You Ride
What Is Therapeutic Riding?
Therapeutic riding is NOT teaching disabled individuals how to ride.
It is NOT counseling on horseback.
It is NOT physical therapy on horseback.
Therapeutic riding uses the motion of the horse and specific exercises to stimulate the rider's brain to heal the mind and mend the body.
Therapeutic riding works by triggering the brain's built in learning and repair mechanism - called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity grows, strengthens, and repairs neural circuits creating a more resilient brain which then regulates and optimizes many other body functions including coordination, muscle tone, hormone regulation, emotional balance, and others.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
As fire refines precious metals by removing impurities, so too does the trainer refine the horse by daily gymnastic work in the arena.
The time tested gymnastic training process of the Old School improves the horse by imparting mobility to joints, strength to muscles, and refinement to the intellect.
