Our Approach
We're passionate about helping people reach their goals, especially challenged individuals! To do so, we've assembled a qualified team of experienced staff members, helpful volunteers, and trained therapy horses.
Our Mission Statement says it all: "The purpose of Ridin' High, Inc. Therapeutic Riding Program is to promote the well-being, functional abilities, and personal development of persons with physical, emotional, or cognitive challenges through participation in Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies, subject to the consent of the participant's medical advisors or other appropriate professional counsel."
We follow best practices for our equine-based activities and interventions, using the guidance and standards outlined by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH). We're a PATH accredited member center and two of our instructors hold Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) credentials as well.
Additionally, we ensure top quality care for our hardworking therapy horses. We have won national recognition for several years in a row for following best practices in caring for the horses! Our program director (with a Bachelor's Degree in Equine Science) and equine manager oversee their care. Each horse has a customized feeding plan, receives health and dental care, and individualized saddle fittings. The horses also receive MagnaWave therapy, chiropractic care, and massage as needed. Of course, they are also very well-loved by volunteers and riders.
