NESTLDOWN THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTER

Mission Statement

Nestldown Therapeutic Riding Center, located off Summit and Old Santa Cruz road is looking for reliable volunteers committed to our mission. Our mission is to work with people who have functional diversity otherwise known as special needs, and teach them how to ride horses. The benefits of therapeutic riding include improved posture and balance, stronger muscles, cognitive improvements, improved hand-eye coordination, improved fine and gross motor control, enhanced communication skills, increased self-confidence and self-esteem and new problem solving skills. Many riders experience a freedom of motion and ability they simply do not or cannot enjoy in other aspects of their lives.
