Riding
Our participants are becoming equestrians and now have a sport to call their own.
The ranch offers adaptive riding and grooming sessions for individuals impacted by Autism and related disabilities. In 4 seasons throughout the year, riders are invited to come every other week for a 30 minute session.
Riders ride with the support of a horse lead, coach, and side-walker. They groom the horses and enjoy fun activities around the ranch.
Our equestrians love to showcase new skills at the horse show. It’s a special day for family and friends to see them excel in their sport. Our equestrians received medals at the horse show.
Our riders are proud of their sport and love having a medal to show their success! Special thanks to Becky and Rich Rose for donating the medals. It’s amazing to watch these kids grow in their sport of horseback riding.
