RainBow Reins Therapeutic Riding Program
We
provide effective, safe, innovative, and professional therapeutic riding
programs. There is no “typical” participant, as our program
is offered to individuals with a wide range of disabilities. These include
Autism, Development Delay, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular
Dystrophy, PDD, ADD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Neurological Disorders, Emotional/Physical
issues, and Language/Speech impairment.
We work in close collaboration with our participants, licensed/ credentialed health professionals, educational, physical and occupational therapists, and speech/language pathologists, and most importantly THE PARENTS! Each rider receives a detailed evaluation which instructors use to design and customize a program tailored to each rider’s specific needs. Specialized forms of treatment using the horse provide effective, safe Equine Assisted Therapy.
