OUR STAFF

As required by the Certified Horsemanship Association, we have three part-time certified/registered instructors who are responsible for providing therapeutic riding instruction for people with special needs. These talented and caring individuals create and implement lesson plans that are organized to address each student's goals as stated by their parents, physicians, and therapists.
