Stella Therapy Riding

Mission Statement

Stella Therapy Riding provides riding lessons to students and adults with emotional and physical challenges. The benefits of therapeutic riding have been recognized for many years. It is a proven method of increasing the physical, mental, emotional and developmental capabilities for individuals with disabilities, functional limitations or medical issues. There is a healing interaction between horses, riders and the people who help them. In addition to riding, Stella Riding students are involved with many aspects of horse care, from grooming and bathing to tacking up before a lesson and untacking when the lesson is finished. The bond between the horse and student begins, literally, from the ground up.
