Welcome to HorseAbility Therapeutic Riding Program, Hippotherapy Program, and
Summer Day Camp
HorseAbility offers a wide range of horse-related programs to children, adults, and families with special needs to promote the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual well being of its participants.
The personal attention that each participant receives from our wonderful staff and volunteers is unparalleled. Consultation with participants, their families, and staff takes place on a regular basis to ensure that the appropriate level of service and programs are being utilized to optimize the impact of our programs.
The population HorseAbility serves ranges from those who are physically challenged (e.g. people with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and visual impairments), developmentally and cognitively disabled (e.g. people with Down Syndrome, Autism, and learning disabilities), and emotionally disabled (e.g. people with interpersonal difficulties and psychological impairments).
