Adaptive Horsemanship

Our carefully selected horses and specially trained volunteers assist our certified therapeutic riding instructors in providing a challenging activity in a safe environment. Our lessons are held in an outdoor facility on private property. Horsemanship activities in the great outdoors provides individuals with disabilities, access to Nature and all the benefits of fresh air, sunshine and breezes.

Adaptive horsemanship activities include grooming, saddling, leading and warm up activities on the ground as well as mounted riding lessons in small groups. The benefits of adaptive horsemanship are improvements in strength, balance, confidence, communication and social skills. We operate from a beautiful outdoor facility located on private property. Horsemanship and riding skills are taught in mounted and dismounted sessions by PATH International certified riding instructors.

Horses helping Heroes is a program of Stable Hands where military Veterans can build strength and confidence while developing horsemanship skills. This program is built on the foundation of Veteran peer support and utilizes the camaraderie between Servicemen and women to provide a supportive environment. Trained Veteran volunteers assist with each session.
