What Our Riders Are Saying
Horse therapy helped this child sit up on his own for the first time!
Joey
“The change in Emma’s posture, attitude, confidence, and curiosity are above compare. I hoped for a physical benefit from the therapy for my daughter, but I never imagined the amount of emotional benefits she would have as well. If it wasn’t for SpiritHorse, we probably wouldn’t be where we are today with regards to Emma’s physical and social abilities!”
Emma
Learning to ride and direct a horse isn’t something that just anyone can do, and Megan’s self-confidence grows as he learns new skills during her sessions. Her charisma shines as she interacts with her instructors and the volunteer staff who assist in his lessons!”

Andrew’s diagnosis affects his physical ability to walk. He is highly social and loves being active, and is in his wheelchair for long hours. Riding on the back of a warm horse stretches those tight muscles and gives him an opportunity to develop and maintain head, neck, and trunk control.
