Therapeutic Horsemanship

Interacting with horses, on the ground or on their backs, has a profoundly positive effect on the physical, emotional, and cognitive health of children and adults with diverse needs. Qualified instructors lead activities in riding, handling, leading and grooming in a safe and encouraging environment. Therapeutic Horsemanship is a non-therapy service that builds strength, coordination, balance, confidence, connection and purpose. 

StirrUp Purpose seeks to understand the needs of each individual and prepares a lesson plan that addresses those needs.

• Private and group lessons are available 6 days per week for adults and children 4 years or older.
• 1-hour lessons involve riding, ground work, games, skill building exercises and more.
