Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
The bond between horse and human is undeniable and well documented. Time on or with a horse provides physical, cognitive, mental and emotional benefits. In a variety of ways, interacting with horses helps people with special needs reach their greatest potential. REACH offers four programs: THERAPEUTIC RIDING strives to meet specific riding and/ or social objectives. The primary focus of therapeutic riding is to teach riding and horsemanship skills that build toward independent riding as well as cognitive, physical and mental wellness. HIPPOTHERAPY, performed by licensed therapists, employs the movement of the horse as a tool to improve posture, speech, and movement, as well as fine motor responses.There are scholarships available.HORSES FOR WARRIORS is a free program for all veterans and military personnel suffering from PTSD or other injuries due to their service to our country. EQUINE FACILITATED LEARNING is a ground program for local youth at risk to help their improve academic, social and behavioral skills.
