Why Equine Therapy Works

Mission Statement

• Natural movement of the horse relaxes and strengthens muscle groups affected by illness and injury, improves balance, coordination and endurance, and generally aids in restoring independence to individuals with diverse disabilities

• Work one-on-one with riders, parents and therapists

• Horses and ponies are hand-picked for their gentleness and patience

• Horses are specially trained to meet the requirements of individuals with disabilities

• Riders develop warmth and tenderness for their horses and the feeling of self-sufficiency by learning to care for their horses

The mission of Hope Springs Equestrian Therapy is to enhance the quality of life of individuals with cognitive, physical, emotional or behavioral disabilities by providing them with affordable therapeutic horseback riding and associated special education of the highest possible quality, in a warm, safe and familiar environment.
