Mission Statement
Kiddy Up Ranch Therapy and Learning Academy is an equine assisted activities and therapy program for children and young adults with disabilities.
Description
Therapeutic riding is an emerging field in which horses are used as a tool for both physical therapy and emotional growth and learning. Many riders experience a connection to the horse that few sports or activities can create. For those riders who cannot walk, the horse is their vehicle of transport. Not only does this help raise their self-esteem but it also teaches them essential skills. It improves balance, creates trust and creates a friendship between rider and horse.
