The rythmic movement of the horse,
the warmth
of its body, the supporting hands
of the
volunteers, and the love and
joy felt in
the arena are Ride to Walk.
Ride to Walk is a unique horseback
riding
program that provides therapy
and recreation
for neurologically disabled children.
It
is a program that brings together
dedicated
volunteers, trained riding instructors,
therapists
and parents in an atmosphere
specifically
designed to enhance physical
coordination
and stimulate self esteem for
the handicapped
child.
Ride to Walk is a year round
riding program
for handicapped children that
coordinates
physical and emotional therapy
into a unique
experience. The program is specifically
designed
to address the needs of children
who are
neurologically handicapped. The
goals of
the program are based on theraputic
intervention
to achieve increased balance
and control,
improved language and socialization
skills
while enhancing self esteem and
providing
exercise and enjoyment.
The program offers weekly riding
sessions.
Each child rides for one 30 minute
session
per week under the supervision
of a trained
riding instructor, therapist
and two or three
volunteers. Each session is individually
designed to meet the special
needs of each
rider.
The excitement of mastering new
skills, the
social interaction with other
riders, volunteers
and staff, and caring for the
horse, are
all vital components in the success
of the
Ride to Walk program.
