Benefits of Therapeutic Riding The rhythmic side-to-side, forward, and backward movement of the horse mimics the human gait, moving a rider's pelvis and torso in the same motion as walking. This stimulation gently relaxes taught muscles and improves core strength, balance, and coordination. Learning new routines, sequencing, and accessing short-term memory skills assist individuals who otherwise may experience difficulty with these tasks. The real success of therapeutic riding comes from most riders being highly motivated to learn new skills, simply because they genuinely enjoy riding!

We provide outsourcing services to charities and non-profits. We provide the services charities normally seek out in the private sector for a lower rate. We understand the nature and operations of charities unlike many businesses. We can provide expert value-added services such as accounting, bookkeeping, human resources, management, fundraising, communications, and technical support.
