Stepping Stones Therapeutic Riding, Inc.

Description

Stepping Stones involves many people working to help riders with physical, mental or emotional handicaps to develop their abilities. Each program is designed to teach horsemanship as well as riding skills and is adapted to fit the individual needs of each rider.

The success of the Stepping Stones Program is measured in many different ways.

• In the broad smile of each rider as friendships develop and riding skills improve.
• In the demonstrated therapeutic benefits of the movement, improved balance, coordination and muscle tone that riding provides.
• In the positive feelings that volunteers experience when they assist the riders and their families.
• In the satisfaction that members of the community feel after they have donated funds to support the day-to-day operations of the program.
