Special Equestrians offers under-served individuals the opportunity to experience horseback riding and learn horsemanship skills with specially trained instructors. Our programs are driven by the awareness that every person learns differently – and careful evaluation determines which activities, horse and instructional style are most likely to bring new competencies to a rider.
Special Equestrians' works with individuals with autism, intellectual disabilities, learning differences, cerebral palsy, genetic disorders, at-risk youth, people experiencing mental health and/or substance use disorder, seniors with age-related disabilities, and families impacted by cancer.
Riding there gives them the opportunity to connect with horses in a safe and supportive environment. Importantly, many of the individuals we serve would not have an opportunity to take advantage of our alternative therapeutic activities because of cost and/or accessibility.
