Therapeutic Riding

Therapeutic riding is an equine-assisted activity designed for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of people with disabilities.


Riders are placed with licensed horseback riding instructors to work on goals that encourage self-confidence and contribute to improved physical conditions. 


Benefits of Therapeutic Riding:

  • Improves balance
  • Increases strength and range of motion
  • Improves coordination/motor skills
  • Sensory integration
  • Builds self-confidence
  • Improves social skills


Clients can sign up for therapeutic riding lessons year-round at Ironstone Farm. We have one large indoor arena, one small indoor arena, a trail, and a large lighted outdoor riding space. Therapeutic riding is offered to people of all abilities, ages 6 and older.  


The therapeutic benefits of horseback riding can also continue to assist children who no longer qualify for Early Intervention Services while enrolled in our Ironstone Therapy Program (starting at age 3).

Connecting people and horses to improve people’s quality of life is at the heart of our programs.
