Therapeutic Horseback Riding
Program Description
back
| Therapeutic Riding is now available to members on Monday
mornings. Riding is offered from 9:30am to noon each Monday,
weather permitting. Sessions are overseen by our volunteer riding
instructor, Georgia Navarro, Day Program Staff and Equine Volunteers.
Member/riders are paired up "permanently" with up to two volunteers,
providing continuity, trust and maximum social interaction.
Before members can begin riding, they must first attend sessions
designed to instruct the member/rider on safety, equine behavior and
equine anatomy.
Lesson plans are coordinated between Riding and Day Program staff to
allow the sessions to work holistically and in concert with overall
member goals in the Day Program.
The Therapeutic Riding Program is not designed to be a standalone
program, rather to complement and to enhance the activities our
members are already engaged in, and offer them a broader array of
program choices. As such, the riding program is offered only
to Hinds' Feet Farm members. |

Sponsor a Horse

Hinds' Feet Farm is committed to the health and safety of not only our
members, but our equine staff as well. In order to provide a safe experience for
our riders, our horses must be maintained well with quality hay, feed and
veterinary care. It costs roughly $1,500 dollars each year to care
for each of our horses. There are several ways of horse
sponsorship you may choose from.
You may sponsor your favorite horse for a year or 6 months.
