High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program

High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program We seek to provide a unique opportunity for people with special needs through the horse-human bond.

The High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program was developed in 1997 by a committee of parents, educators and professionals who were interested in providing a therapeutic riding experience for children with developmental disabilities. The program has expanded over the years and currently serves hundreds of riders, from age three to eighty-three years of age. High Hurdles offers cognitively, emotionally and physically challenged individuals a unique opportunity for growth and development. Instructors, students, horses and volunteers all work together to achieve challenging yet attainable horsemanship goals. Learning to care for and about horses while mastering riding skills is what High Hurdles is all about.

On Monday we were honored to host 's Equine Assisted Therapy class to give them a solid introduction to the field in their first few weeks of the semester. They had the chance to ask questions about sasi, High Hurdles, the equine assisted services and selecting/training horses for this job. They also got the chance to tour our facilities and get on our horses to learn about how we support our riders. Thank you , we can't wait for the next time!
