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 program and must be returned to the NSSRA office by Friday, December 27. Note: As a safety precaution for all, participants over
250 pounds will do groundwork with horses instead of riding. Participants with physical and medical conditions, please use caution.
No program January 23.
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.
