Therapeutic riding program:
Our therapeutic riding program includes therapy on and/or off the horse, depending on the child’s preference.
Therapy is provided by one or more of our licensed professionals, including a speech pathologist, certified therapeutic recreational therapy specialist, and/or a certified occupational therapy assistant.
Goals that may be targeted include comprehension, verbal expression, word finding, social/pragmatic goals, joint attention, cognition, sensory processing, fine motor skills, core strengthening and balance, confidence, and/or many other goals. The beauty of this program is we can target multidisciplinary goals in all of our sessions.
Therapy includes the use of equine movement and/or equine assisted therapy. We target the above goals via horseback riding, games and activities while riding the horse, and other activities using a horse or a miniature horse. We also help children with special needs with academic goals by providing a fun and exciting atmosphere with an equine friend who is ready to learn with your child.
Sessions are 30 minutes long. Price is $199/mo for our monthly membership (weekly therapy sessions.) Individual sessions outside of our monthly membership are $69/session.
Speech Therapy
We provide traditional speech therapy with a licensed speech pathologist while implementing hippotherapy as a treatment strategy. This means the child will be on the horse and riding around in a pasture while participating in speech therapy. Speech therapy targets comprehension, verbal expression, word finding, social/pragmatic goals, joint attention, cognition, confidence, or other goals within the SLP’s scope of practice. Speech sessions are 30 minutes long and the child will spend most of the session on the horse (depending on the child’s tolerance). Single sessions are $69. Your insurance may reimburse, or partially reimburse this fee. Please note, we currently do not offer formal speech therapy in our monthly program but we can address speech and language goals in our therapeutic riding program.
Occupational Therapy
We provide traditional occupational therapy with a licensed occupational therapist or certified occupational therapy assistant while implementing hippotherapy as a treatment strategy. This means the child will be on the horse and riding around in a pasture while participating in occupational therapy. We provide traditional therapy targeting sensory processing, fine motor skills, core strengthening and balance, confidence, and other goals with the OT’s scope of practice. OT sessions are 45-minutes long and the child will spend a portion of the session on the horse (depending on the child’s tolerance) and a portion of the session off the horse. OT sessions are $98. Your insurance may reimburse, or partially reimburse this fee. Please note, we currently do not offer OT in our monthly program but we can address OT goals in our therapeutic riding program.

Insurance:
We are not in network with insurance. We do our best to keep our cost as low as possible. This also allows us to offer more than one discipline (speech and OT) to your child’s therapy plan. We also offer periodic scholarships and promotions so please follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram. We will also send an email announcing any scholarships or promotions.
