Our dedicated team of professionals, compassionate volunteers, and remarkable horses work in harmonious unity to provide exceptional therapeutic experiences that empower individuals facing physical, mental, or emotional challenges.

Providing a Pathway to Growth and Empowerment

At REACH, we believe in the inherent strength and resilience of every individual. We recognize that horses possess a unique ability to connect with humans on a deeply intuitive level, fostering trust, building confidence, and encouraging personal growth. Our equine-assisted programs are meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients, utilizing the therapeutic benefits of horses to enhance their well-being and unlock their full potential.

Therapeutic Riding: A Journey of Discovery

Therapeutic riding is a carefully structured program that utilizes horseback riding as a therapeutic tool. Riders of all ages and abilities engage in a variety of exercises and activities that promote balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility. Therapeutic riding not only addresses physical needs but also fosters emotional growth, self-esteem, and social interaction. Experienced therapists and instructors guide clients every step of the way, tailoring each session to individual goals and progress.

Hippotherapy: Harnessing Movement for Therapeutic Change

Hippotherapy, a specialized form of physical therapy, utilizes the natural movement of horses to improve motor skills, balance, posture, and coordination. Children and adults with neurological and developmental conditions benefit from the rhythmic gait of the horse, which stimulates sensory input and strengthens muscles. Hippotherapy sessions are led by licensed physical therapists who work in collaboration with horses and skilled handlers to create a holistic therapeutic experience.

Equine Facilitated Learning: Unlocking Potential Through Horses

Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) empowers individuals to develop critical life skills through interactive experiences with horses. This non-riding program utilizes horses as catalysts for personal growth and self-discovery. Through guided activities and exercises, clients learn to communicate effectively, establish healthy boundaries, build trust, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

Horses for Warriors: Honoring Service Through Healing

REACH Therapeutic Riding Center deeply appreciates the sacrifices made by our veterans. The "Horses for Warriors" program provides a sanctuary for veterans struggling with the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges of service. Through therapeutic horseback riding, veterans find solace, community, and a path toward healing and recovery. Our program offers a supportive environment where veterans can connect with others who understand their unique experiences, build a sense of purpose, and regain a sense of control and accomplishment.

Our Dedicated Team: Passionate About Making a Difference

The REACH Therapeutic Riding Center is blessed with a team of compassionate and dedicated professionals who share a profound passion for transforming lives through equine-assisted therapies.
