A Christian Nonprofit Organization
At Open Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center, we serve those with physical and/or emotional disabilities and challenges through our horsemanship program.
Our team has several years of experience in the equestrian industry. We promote mental, physical, emotional, and social growth to everyone involved in the program.
Dozer assists participants in reaching their highest potential and promotes enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem in a safe and positive environment.
PHYSICAL: The three-dimensional motion of the horse provides the participant hip, back, and core action that simulates natural walking. Riding relaxes and strengthens muscles and improves body tone, posture, balance, joint mobility, and coordination.
EMOTIONAL: Contact with horses and horsemanship training provides a non-competitive setting for learning. New abilities, self-discipline, and improved concentration build self-confidence and emotional well-being. Participation in our programs can also foster a foundation of trust and emotional connection between both animals and humans alike.
SOCIAL: Horseback riding nurtures a positive self-image. Participants may, for the first time in their lives, experience some independence but also a sense of being part of a team. It is an opportunity for them to interact with instructors, other participants and their volunteer team, building relationships that will further enhance their positive self-image.
