With life experience and hands on time with her clients and her own children, Lynn has learned how to &#8220;fly by the seat of her pants&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>We serve individuals with:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Down Syndrome<\/li>\n<li>Cerebral Palsy<\/li>\n<li>Autism<\/li>\n<li>Tremors<\/li>\n<li>Seizures<\/li>\n<li>Spina Bifida<\/li>\n<li>Multiple Sclerosis<\/li>\n<li>Developmental and speech delays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Benefits of Therapeutic Riding:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"alignleft\">\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Improves motor planning <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Improves core strength <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Improves attention span <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Improves bilateral skills <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stimulates muscle memory <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Teaches respect and patience <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Introduces positive sensory activities <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Teaches trust<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Increases self confidence<\/li>\n<li>Improves speech<\/li>\n<li>Develops or improves social skills<\/li>\n<li>Improves large motor skill<\/li>\n<li>Improves fine motor skills<\/li>\n<li>Strengthens spinal and pelvic muscles<\/li>\n<li>Increases vestibular system by the 3 dimensional movement of the horse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<address style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_280\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280\" class=\"wp-image-280 size-medium\" style=\"border: 10px solid #302c2a;\" title=\"img_0200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brechtstables.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/img_0200-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"img_0200\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brechtstables.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/img_0200-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brechtstables.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/img_0200-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>A client enjoying a lesson<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/address>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">**Please email for Therapeutic Horseback Riding Forms**<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr  class=\"dark-line\" \/>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Day Camp<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">**<\/span><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/252923768119062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day Camp Application<\/a>**<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>A camp director that is certified in CPR\/First Aid will be in attendance at each camp.
