Adult Programs
Horseback Riding
Saddle up! Equestrian Connection is a one-of-a-kind stable that provides therapeutic horseback riding specifically designed for individuals with special
needs. Participants will work to gain strength, flexibility and balance through riding. Each participant will learn how to ride, groom, saddle and tack a horse.
During the program, the group will also be engaged in other horse-related activities and a snack will be provided each week. A waiver will be sent prior to
program; the waiver must be returned to the NSSRA office before participation in this program is approved. Note: As a safety precaution for
all, participants over 250 pounds will do ground work with horses instead of riding. No program September 22.
Goals: Increase flexibility and range of motion while on the horse. Gain self-confidence and a sense of control through stable skills. Develop companionship
with the horse and a sense of responsibility.
