Programs
Whispering Horse has been offering Therapeutic Riding Services since 2002. All sessions are overseen by experienced staff. We offer 1/2 hour or 1 hour individual sessions. During each session riders enjoy a variety of games and activities designed for horseback, which motivate the rider and provide opportunities of meeting physical, cognitive, behavioral and psychological goals. Riders will spend the majority of time on the horse; grooming and stable management skills are also incorporated when appropriate.
We strive to provide children and adults living with physical and mental limitations, a safe, enjoyable and growth experience. Our trained volunteers are at the heart of the program. They are devoted and caring community members of all ages. Some serve as "side walker's" who assist the riders while others are: leaders' who guide the horse during sessions. Many others work behind the scenes caring for the horses maintaining the facility to ensure a safe riding environment or helping with fundraising
