Horseback riding is more than just a recreational activity -it’s a life-changing experience, especially for disabled adults and children. Our fundraiser aims to provide these individuals with the opportunity to ride horses in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. With your generous support, we can make horseback riding accessible to those who need it most, offering them physical, emotional, and therapeutic benefits that improve their overall well-being.
Why Horseback Riding?
Equine-assisted activities have been proven to enhance the lives of individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. The rhythmic motion of a horse mimics the human gait, helping riders improve balance, coordination, and muscle strength. Additionally, the bond between horse and rider fosters confidence, independence, and emotional healing. Whether it’s a child with cerebral palsy gaining strength in their core, an adult with PTSD finding peace in the saddle, or someone with autism improving their social skills, horseback riding offers unique benefits for people of all abilities.
