Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
Our program is designed for individuals with disabilities or additional support needs. This application helps us understand each participant’s goals, abilities, and support needs so we can determine whether the program is a suitable fit.
Does completing this application guarantee acceptance?
Submitting an application does not guarantee enrollment. All applicants are required to complete an evaluation lesson before full enrollment in the therapeutic riding program. This helps us assess each participant’s needs and determine whether we can provide a safe and appropriate riding experience.
What happens after I submit my application?
Our team will review your information and contact you about next steps, which may include additional questions, medical clearance, and an introductory assessment before scheduling sessions.
What should I wear to my horseback riding lesson?
For your safety and comfort, we recommend wearing long pants (like leggings or riding breeches) and a boot with a small heel (like paddock boots) for your first lesson. A certified riding helmet is required — if you don’t have one, we will provide a loaner for your first few lessons.
