Fair Hill Therapeutic Riding Center, a licensed Stable Moments facility, is recruiting mentors to work with children and youth in foster care or adopted from foster care who have experienced developmental trauma. Stable Moments utilizes Equine Assisted Activities in Learning (EAL). The goal of the program is to develop skills needed for healthy transitions into adulthood. Training is required at no cost.
Stable Moments is a mentorship program that matches
- 1 community mentor, with
- 1 foster or adopted child and
- 1 horse for
- 1 hour per week for 10 months
to develop life skills for healthy transitions into adulthood
Each child is given a plan of care that is color coded for the life skill areas they are working on. Along with the participant community mentors then choose activities based on those colors.
To track progress, mentors complete activity logs at the end of each session. Program Directors collect pre and post test data for life skill improvement and complete progress summaries at the mid-point and end of session the year.

Mission Statement
To provide Equine Assisted Services to area adults and children with disabilities, and to educate medical, equine, and local communities about the benefits of therapeutic riding.
Description
We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization providing Equine Assisted Services in therapeutic horsemanship to area children and adults with physical, cognitive, and social/emotional disabilities. Our services provide a platform to create a conduit between human and equine that will reward the participants with enthusiasm and excitement, while realizing multiple underlying achievements. The rhythmic movement of the horse moves the rider’s body in a manner similar to the human gait, developing muscle strength, balance, cognition and sensory-motor skills. FHTRC’s judgement-free environment promotes independence and self-advocacy. Helping the participant develop horsemanship skills, manifests into confidence-building, as well as physical and emotional strength.
