Youth Horseback Riding
Giddy up! 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 the program's start date and must be returned to the NSSRA office by Friday, December 28. 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. No program January 24.
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.
