For decades, therapeutic horse riding has offered help to people as they overcome serious physical and emotional challenges. The rhythmic gait of a horse offers the rider unique benefits that cannot be achieved with traditional forms of therapy. As the motion of the horse transfers to the rider, spastic muscles relax, under-used muscles are awakened, and the rider experiences a new kind of freedom of motion. Horses of Hope makes the benefits of therapeutic riding available to the individuals in our area through our therapeutic riding, community lessons, Heroes & Horses and our Silver Saddle programs.
