Equestrian Connection is a one-of-a-kind stable that provides therapeutic horseback riding opportunities specifically designed for individuals with special needs.

A waiver will be sent prior to program; the waiver must be returned to the NSSRA office by Thursday, September 5. Note: As a safety precaution for all, participants over 250 pounds will do ground work with horses instead of riding. Participants with physical and medical conditions, please use caution. Please note that this program will start one week late on Thursday, September 26. Goals: Increase flexibility and range of motion while on the horse.
