Chakota Therapeutic Riding Center

Chakota Therapeutic Riding Center "Chakota Therapeutic Riding Center provides physical and emotional healing through therapeutic interaction with horses

The benefits of Therapeutic Horseback Riding are well documented. Because a horse's gait is similar to the human walk, riding strengthens and supports the natural motion of the spine and pelvis. This repetitive motion helps balance, coordination, strength, and muscle tone as it gently mobilizes the joints. In addition, riding and interacting with the horse fosters self-confidence and motivation. The freedom and independence the Riders experience through Chakota's programs act as a bridge to accomplish and lead to success in other areas of their lives as well!

Donations come in the form of cash, hay, services, time, and sometimes a horse. Today it was a horse - Blue. He will be put through a 30 day trial to see if he has the disposition to be a therapy horse.

We are looking for a big, sturdy horse to handle our bigger riders and offer them a good work out. We are hopeful that Blue fits that ticket. We were disappointed when Sheriff would not acclimate to the routine. He was a beautiful horse and had potential.

You are welcome to come out and meet Blue. Taryn is often at the barn when the day is at its warmest to keep all the horses exercised.

We welcome Jake Brandmeyer, State Farm Agent, with offices in New Baden and Nashville, to our list of Trivia Round sponsors.

It’s easy to remember Jake from State Farm because of excellent marketing. If you are a Marketing student who’s trying to build your portfolio, or retired and looking to stay busy, we’d love to talk to you about volunteering on our Marketing team.

You know the timeless wisdom “It takes a Village?” This time, that village is embodied in Michael Gelsinger, the mayor of Sandoval, who has generously stepped forward to be a Trivia Round sponsor. We are deeply thankful for all the villages, near and far, big and small, who have unwavering faith in the benefits of equine-assisted activities.

The recent stall renovation project was made possible by countless hours of volunteer time and a generous $2000 Community Impact Grant from the Clinton County Farm Bureau.

We are grateful for the tireless efforts and unwavering commitment that brought this project to fruition, and we appreciate the Farm Bureau's financial support.

Pictured with Farm Bureau Directors, Quinton Huelsmann and Matt Timmermann, are Chakota Board members Travis Hoffeditz, Shelly Zeisset, Tom O’Brien, Jan Reinhardt, Michelle Hagen, Gary Davis, Chris Boenhoff, and Manager Taryn McSpadden.

Just like Brittany serves Clinton County and surrounding areas, so does Chakota. We have riders who travel weekly for their riding session from within the county and as far away as Granite City, Greenville, Nashville, Mascoutah, and more. We look forward to their familiar faces each week.
