Therapeutic Riding Lessons: A Safe Way to Social Distance!

Hearts Therapeutic Riding is Now Accepting Students!

These new times are tough on everyone, especially the kids. They are used to a schedule and that has changed drastically. Riding a horse in the great outdoors is an amazing and safe way to social distance.

Did you know that riding produces oxytocins in the body which is why people feel better after riding? We specialize in providing therapeutic riding services to all populations, but not limited to those who deal with:

*Physical and developmental disabilities
*Mental health issues
*Individuals who need confidence building and physical development.

There are physical, cognitive, and emotional benefits with horseback riding. Many riders in our program report feeling physically stronger and more flexible. They also feel increased self-esteem, decreased anxiety, improvements in problem solving, attention, memory, and more!
