Healing Ride


This post covers one of my favorite topics, therapeutic riding. Because of some surgery riding was impossible. I have received comments from others about how therapeutic riding program has been very effective. If you are involved in his type therapy please let me hear from you.


Healing Ride | clarionledger.com | The Clarion-Ledger: "DREW IS KNOWN AS 'PRETTY BOY' — A 12-year-old palomino who used to perform in western pleasure shows.

Now, the gentle horse is helping people improve their health.

He is one of three horses used at RideAbility Therapeutic Riding Center, a nonprofit organization in Florence that helps people with disabilities through supervised horseback riding.

'We work with those who are battling a lot of different things - from autism to cerebral palsy to multiple sclerosis,' says Christy Henderson, executive director and certified instructor at RideAbility. 'Part of our motto is body, mind and spirit, and we truly believe that therapeutic riding helps in all those areas."
