The Ranch offers a variety of Wellness Programs through the Strides for Success Programs. These programs use the outdoor spaces, the Wellness Clinic and of course, the horses.
Using horses for physical therapy has been used for decades because of their many healing qualities. Horses that have big gaits will create a bi lateral movement that is crucial when strengthening the core, legs or arms of a rider with disabilities. Horses also are great motivators and can help relieve stress and form bonds with their riders. All sessions include a PATH certified instructor, (an OT/PT for Hippotherapy) and a team of volunteers as horse leaders and side walkers.
The Steady Strides Riding are recreational horseback riding lessons adapted to individuals with disabilities. In Steady Strides:
- group lessons are used for social interaction
- riders practice their horse skills by using obstacles in the arena
- some independent riding can be taught
- Because Steady Strides is an adaptive/ recreational/sport activity, and not therapy, it is NOT covered by insurance.
