EQUESTRIA®

THERAPEUTIC RIDING &

HORSE EDUCATION PROGRAM

For Children, Adults & Veterans With Disabilities

EQUESTRIA® conducts therapeutic riding and horse education classes for children, adults and veterans with physical, mental and emotional disabilities living in the New York Metropolitan Area and Westchester.

Learning to ride and care for horses offers people with disabilities more than just exercise and companionship. These activities also help teach new  skills –ones that you will need both in and outside the equestrian center. The EQUESTRIA® Program is proud to offer therapeutic riding and horse education classes for people with disabilities in New York City.

The EQUESTRIA® staff tailors our programs to meet the needs of children, adults, and veterans with a wide range of disabilities. We truly believe horses can help individuals to connect with others and learn new skills that they can carry with them wherever they go

Children and adults alike can have fun with gentle horses while learning how to better their abilities in a safe place with caring staff to help.

Significant benefits of therapeutic horseback riding for all ages include improvements in:

  • Balance
  • Posture
  • Coordination
  • Mobility
  • Confidence
  • Self-esteem
  • Communication Skills
