Happy Trails Information
Riders interact with our horses by grooming them.
Then our budding equestrians and horses
communicate with each other through interactive
play we call "horse games". Horse games foster
physical and emotional health, independence, and
self-confidence in our riders.
Riders with physical disabilities can benefit in many ways: stretching of tight or spastic muscles; strengthening of
muscles, joints, and tendons; improvement of reflexes.Riders can experience increased balance and muscle
control, a wider range of motion, improved circulation, respiration, appetite and digestion.
All riders gain confidence and enhanced self esteem as they progress though our program.
