Mission Statement

The purpose and mission of Willow Ridge Therapeutic Riding Facility are to provide charitable, physical, and educational opportunities for higher functioning children with special needs and prevent cruelty to children and animals. Our goal is to teach skills that bolster self-confidence and self-discipline in a therapeutic setting while showing care and respect for animals. The operational goal is to provide this opportunity to children regardless of their economic backgrounds.

Description

Willow Ridge offers group therapeutic riding sessions. All of our programs are designed to meet the goals and needs of each student. Therapy sessions are 20-30 minutes long, depending on the endurance level of each student.

Willow Ridge also offers therapy sessions that teach students how to groom and tack up their horse.

Sessions include:
  • Safety in approaching, leading, and grooming your horse
  • Basic horse behavior and health management
