Therapeutic Horseback Riding/Adaptive Horseback Riding
Therapeutic horseback riding, also known as Equine Assisted Activity or Adaptive Riding is for individuals with a broad range of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social disabilities. With life experience and hands on time with her clients and her own children, Lynn has learned how to “fly by the seat of her pants” being able to change her lessons at a moments notice. Being able to change up the lesson plans has given her the opportunity to gel more with the students and be able to meet them on their level for that particular day. We all have good and bad days and Lynn knows how important it is to meet the kids at their level, but to also push just a little to bring out the students self confidence and lower their anxiety levels.

Day Camp
**Day Camp Application**
A camp director that is certified in CPR/First Aid will be in attendance at each camp. Each camper will learn how to take care of their own horse by cleaning stalls, brushing, tacking up and building a relationship with his or her very own horse for the week. We will enjoy horse related crafts and team building activities. Each day we will also spend a lot of time on horseback, learning how to maneuver the horses through certain obstacle courses while improving core strength, gross and fine motor skills and learning patience and direction following.
