High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program

High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program We seek to provide a unique opportunity for people with special needs through the horse-human bond.

The High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program was developed in 1997 by a committee of parents, educators and professionals who were interested in providing a therapeutic riding experience for children with developmental disabilities. The program has expanded over the years and currently serves hundreds of riders, from age three to eighty-three years of age. High Hurdles offers cognitively, emotional

ly and physically challenged individuals a unique opportunity for growth and development. Instructors, students, horses and volunteers all work together to achieve challenging yet attainable horsemanship goals. Learning to care for and about horses while mastering riding skills is what High Hurdles is all about.

Most horses have a January 1st birthday, but Dreamer came with an actual day. Today was Dreamer's 18th birthday! He got lots of treats and even a hay ball; he loved it. 😊

Dreamer has a really inspiring story: Dreamer used to be a racehorse and then went on to work for the Amish, but was later found in a last-chance situation. He now is doing amazing things for our riders, giving them all the love and support they need.
