Class Descriptions
Offered at Triple Creek Ranch, Inc.
Equitherapy is the use of a horse for physical, mental, and emotional therapy. Horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves the rider's body in a manner similar to a human gait, riders often show improvement in flexibility, balance and muscle strength. For those who cannot or choose not to ride also benefit from grooming and tacking up exercises. Using God's awesome creature, the horse, can lead to increased confidence, patience, and self-esteem. All this strengthens the spirit and improves mental, and emotional well-being. Class sizes vary from 2 to 4 students. 8 years to 100+ years of Age
