TESTIMONIALS

Horse therapy is so uplifting compared to traditional treatments. Exercising on the horses and in nature makes it much more enjoyable for me. Equine therapy has helped me cope better physically and emotionally with my illness.

 

Spending time with the horses in such a peaceful environment lowers my anxiety and lets me forget about all my problems. Coming to Horse SenseAbility is definitely the best part of my week. I come here, I leave here and then I can't wait to come back again.

I knew Jayce needed a different form of therapy to help him improve self-regulation, build core strength and reduce anxiety. Jayce enjoys his lessons and is proud that he’s riding more independently each week.

Jayce leaves the barn feeling confident, accomplished, understood and respected--which is why he loves coming to Horse SenseAbility!

--Jayce's mom (Jayce has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
anxiety, autism, and central auditory processing disorder.)

Given Eden's significant development delays, we've tried physical therapy, occupational therapy, and traditional sports programs to encourage her physical development. Motivating her to attend these programs was often a struggle, but she was extremely excited to try hippotherapy given her love of horses.

Hippotherapy [occupational therapy on horseback] has contributed to Eden’s core strength, communication skills, and self-regulation. She counts down the days to every lesson!

--Eden's mom & dad (Eden has a rare genetic mutation of a gene related to brain development called mosaic tubulinopathy that manifests as development delays for which she has been in speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy since she was 2
years old.)

Benny's sensory processing disorder shows up as repetitive rocking back and forth. This stimming behavior decreases drastically after a lesson--the difference is like night and day. Benny is also more emotionally grounded after he rides.

--Benny's mom (Benny has hearing loss. sensory processing
disorder and generalized anxiety.)
