Description
Horses Adaptive Riding & Therapy (HART) is a local, grass-roots organization assisting special needs individuals in our community. Our staff and volunteers bring many years of experience and knowledge to Horses Adaptive Riding and Therapy’s equine program. This experience helps to create a supportive and compassionate environment. At Horses Adaptive Riding and Therapy, we emphasize the inclusion of clients who might not qualify for traditional equine therapy programs due to their diagnoses or financial status.
Our goals at Horses Adaptive Riding and Therapy are:
- To provide a supportive and comforting environment where people feel safe and accepted.
- To serve clients who need or want to ride, regardless of their ability to pay.
- To enhance our clients’ capabilities and foster their independence.
- To ease the challenges faced by clients and families, focusing on five major benefits:
* Physical
* Cognitive
* Behavioral
* Emotional
* Developmental
