Your child doesn't need any prior horse experience. We're dedicated to guiding them safely through interactions with our horses, proceeding at their comfort level. Our approach ensures they become confident and comfortable around these magnificent animals.

Horse riding offers unique therapeutic benefits for children with autism. The rhythmic motion of riding can have a calming effect, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Additionally, the sensory experience of being around horses—feeling their warmth, hearing their gentle sounds, and smelling their scent—can help children with sensory sensitivities develop tolerance and regulation. Furthermore, horse riding provides opportunities for social interaction and communication, as children bond with their equine partners and interact with instructors and peers. Overall, horse riding can enhance physical coordination, emotional regulation, and social skills, making it a valuable activity for children with autism.
