Description of the offer: Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End CTREE
Therapeutic Riding Lessons and Equine Assisted Activities for Children and Young Adults with cognitive, physical or emotional disabilities.
Why Therapeutic Riding?
Studies show the distinctive, three-dimensional movement of the horse provides the input needed to help a rider with sensory integration issues as well as producing specific physical changes such as increased balance, muscle control and strength. Equine assisted activities such as grooming and tacking the horse help the rider with sequencing skills and fine motor coordination. The relationships that develop between riders and volunteers and staff provide a positive emotional experience. The horse provides many riders with the motivation to learn new things, and learning specific riding skills increases the riders self esteem.
Founder Amanda Ross states, “Prospective riders are first evaluated with a private evaluation with CTREE program director and instructor to assess how CTREE can safely and effectively meet the rider’s needs. With the participation of the CTREE instructor, and the rider’s parents, caregivers and educators the rider’s goals will be established. A combination of therapeutic, educational and recreational approaches is used to achieve these goals. It’s very exciting to be able to offer therapeutic riding services to the east end.”
