Mission Statement
The mission of High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program of SASi is to provide a unique opportunity for growth, development and other positive changes for individuals with special needs; and, to foster the community's awareness, appreciation, participation and donor involvement through the horse/human bond.
Description
Through learning to care for horses, mastering riding skills, and other horse related activities therapeutic horsemanship provides an opportunity for riders to potentially improve skills such as posture, balance and stamina, increase body and environmental awareness, improve concentration and problem solving skills, improve speech and enhance self-esteem and social confidence. We believe that therapeutic riding and horsemanship enhances an individual's ability to reach their highest potential.
