Therapeutic Riding Community

Therapeutic Riding Community refers to organizations and groups that provide equine-assisted therapy to individuals with physical, emotional, or developmental challenges. These programs use specially trained horses and instructors to help improve clients' balance, coordination, confidence, and emotional well-being. The community aspect emphasizes collaboration among licensed therapists, instructors, volunteers, and participants to create a supportive environment. It aims to enhance quality of life and promote healing through structured, purposeful interaction with horses, often as part of a broader rehabilitation or wellness plan.
