Spirit Horse Therapeutic Riding Center Information

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:06:31 +0000

SpiritHorse Therapeutic provides free therapeutic horseback riding services to over 450 children and adults from ten counties in the Greater Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex each week at our facilities in Corinth, just north of Dallas, Texas. We currently serve more children than any center in the world. We are unique in that SpiritHorse is the only large center in America that provides all private therapeutic horseback riding services free of charge in our six programs: Disabilities, Children who are Victims of Abuse/Violence, At-Risk-Youth, Battered Women, and Youth After-Drug Rehab. Our mission is, “To ist Each Child with Special Needs in Reaching Their Full Potential through Interaction with Horses”.

We also have as a mission: “A kind, rewarding home for older show horses and ponies, loving care, and proper burial on our ranch when they pass on.”

More than 700 centers in the United States provide recreational therapy, typically in group lessons. A much smaller number provide hippotherapy which is provided by occupational or physical therapists using the Horse facts Guide Amazon’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>horse as a modality. A small number provide equine facilitated mental health, using the horse to foster relationship building and problem solving.

SpiritHorse provides what it terms equine-assisted healthcare, which is has a different goal than that of recreational therapy. It includes, for example, eleven specific methods provided in a one-on-one setting for intervening with its 165 children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. We have developed an instructor as our autism specialist, following the lead of the mainstream medical community who substantially advanced the state-of-the-art in medicine when they developed pediatricians, oncologists, orthopedists, neurologists, and other specialists.
