FUTURE PLANS

To provide a Handicap Riding Facility. So, that we can offer Hippotherapy. Hippotherapy literally means “treatment with the help of the horse” from the Greek word, “hippos” meaning horse. If conventional therapy sessions no longer interest your physically or mentally challenged loved one. .

Hippotherapy offers the best alternative. A lot of loving parents are discovering the power of horses to help their challenged children (or adults) to regain some form of independence from their disability. Some are seeing hope in Hippotherapy after observing a significant improvement in their loved ones’ physical and cognitive abilities into which their doctors have already thrown the white towel. Most of them were surprised to find the answer to their prayers in some hippo therapist’s stable. .

Hippotherapy is a physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy treatment strategy that utilizes equine movement as part of an integrated intervention program to achieve functional outcomes. The horse's walk provides sensory input through movement, which is variable, rhythmic, and repetitive. The resultant movement responses in the patient are similar to human movement patterns of the pelvis while walking. The horse provides a dynamic base of support, making it an excellent tool for increasing trunk strength and control, balance, building overall postural strength and endurance, addressing weight bearing, and. motor planning..

THERAPEUTIC RIDING

Therapeutic riding utilizes the movement of the horse and specialized activities to maximize the therapeutic benefits to a rider. It is often recommended by physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists to improve flexibility, balance, muscle strength, coordination, posture, and to stimulate the central nervous system. Other benefits include improved memory, sequencing, attention span, self-awareness, increased self-esteem and self -confidence.

WHEELCHAIRS IN DRIVING CARTS

As you may know already, Horses are therapeutic. It has been demonstrated to provide emotional and physical therapy for different ability children. Although physical therapy is also a benefit derived from Therapeutic Riding. We do not believe that physical therapy is the only benefit derived from horse therapy. Indeed,
he emotional benefits to children may greatly outweigh the physical benefits.
Unfortunately, many of the very children who would most benefit from Equine Therapy are not able to participate in conventional therapeutic riding.
They are not able to sit a saddle.

That's why we would love to have
wheelchair Driving Carts for our Facility.
