THERAPEUTIC RIDING

Therapeutic Riding is a form of therapy using horses to help persons with disabilities, the disabilities range from physical through learning and even emotional disabilities.

Many riders experience a connection to the horse that few sports can create. For those riders who cannot walk, the horse is their feet, their vehicle of transport. Not only does this help raise their self-esteem but it also teaches them essential skills. It improves balance, creates trust and creates a friendship between rider and horse. NSEC offers a program with EC and CANTRA certified coach Megan McDonald who will custom develop a beneficial and enjoyable program for each rider.
