We will start
our relationship with all our potential students in an initial meeting where we
meet the parent(s) and begin to discuss our goals, listen to the parent’s
expectations and meet the horses (weather permitting).
A potential student must:
1.
Complete
Participant Application Packet
2.
Meet
with an instructor or therapist before being approved for the riding program. Please note that we will work to serve as
many students as we can but there may be limited spaces as our program within
the community grows. When that happens
we will initiate a waiting list.
Depending on the individual needs, a participant may be
scheduled for either mounted or unmounted activities. Our professional staff will be happy to
discuss these options with you. We are
excited and pleased to have the opportunity to serve you.
