Mission Statment
Ther-Equine’s mission is to promote and enhance the welfare of individuals with disabilities by providing a program of therapeutic, educational, and recreational value: and further, to empower individuals who are mentally, physically and/or emotional challenged
through the use of horses, while providing therapeutic benefits in a safe and controlled atmosphere.
The benefits of horseback are threefold:
Physical- The three-dimentional motion of riding the horseprovide the rider hip and back movements that simulatenatural walking. Riding relaxes and strengthens muscles whichin turn improve body tone, posture, balance, joint mobility, andcoordination
Emotional- Learning to work with horses builds self-confidenceand raises self-esteem. Students learn to work through fear;to set and achieve goals; they practice self-discipline; and theybecome great at being curious and playful.
Social- Friendships grow through common equine experiencesand interacting with peers of similar age and abilities. Plannedand spontaneous interactions among riders, volunteers, instructorsand horses has helped to forge bonds that have lasted years.
