Description
Owner and PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor Kelly Rickard has been teaching Therapeutic Riding since 2009. Her love for the children is obvious in her teaching style, and having fun on the horse is second only to safety in the lessons. After an initial visit to the barn and discovery of health history, physical function and psycho-social function, goals are set and riding sessions begin. Parental input is always welcomed and new weekly issues are always discussed.
