Equestrian Connection is a one-of-a-kind stable that provides therapeutic horseback riding opportunities specifically designed for individuals with special needs. Participants learn and practice grooming techniques, ride, have a snack and engage in a horse-related activity 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. Participants with physical and medical conditions, please use caution. Please note that this program will begin one week late on Thursday, April 5. 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.
