Pikes Peak Therapeutic Riding Center 

Therapeutic riding

Our Therapeutic Riding classes utilize the format of a riding lesson to facilitate physical, cognitive or social goals.  They are usually in a group format. Individuals practice basic riding skills such as mounting/dismounting, riding positions, maneuvering the horse, and riding at various gaits. Unmounted lessons such as grooming, tacking and leading are incorporated into the lesson plans.

 

 

The benefits of therapeutic riding include:

improved posture and balance

increased mobility and coordination

strengthened muscles

enhanced self-esteem

improved concentration

practice of social skills   

Classes are always taught by a certified instructor assisted by trained volunteers. 

 

Therapeutic horseback riding offers a sense of newfound freedom for many children and adults with disabilities.
