Program Staff
We see ourselves as the bridge between
client and horses, working closely with clients to guide them towards their
personal goals. Our role is to facilitate safe interaction with horses, and to
evaluate our client's progress along the way. We believe in the power of
awareness and intention, and gear our services and activities around these
principles. Our therapists and instructors have years of experience sharing the
joys of horses with special needs riders and vaulters, as well as being lifelong
horsewomen.
