Through vaulting (gymnastics on a moving horse), even severely disabled children learn and achieve. A therapy horse is the key element in our program because it demands, facilitates and rewards desired changes (outcomes/adaptive responses) in the children.Horses are the most critical asset to the following outcomes: Disabled/disadvantaged/special-needs children have improved physically, mentally, socially and/or emotionally, enabling them to lead more independent, productive and better lives.
