High Hurdles is a therapeutic horse riding program for children, teens, and adults with disabilities from ages 3 to 83! It is a unique program for individuals to experience awareness of their senses and grow emotionally, physically, cognitively, and socially! "The knowledgeable therapeutic riding instructor takes into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of each participant and develops individualized lesson plans in order to achieve challenging, therapeutic and FUN classes."(www.sasinc.org) The program allows the individual to interact with the horses by touching, feeding, and grooming them. This helps to feel sensory stimulation and interaction. This program also helps "to improve skills or areas such as posture, balance and stamina, increase body and environmental awareness, improve concentration and problem solving skills, improve speech and enhance self-esteem and social confidence." (www.sasinc.org) Learning and exploring new and different activities is important in you child's life. It is also important for your child to engage with other children who have a similar interest in horses. "Utilizing a "team" approach of riders, mounts, volunteers and instructor, the therapeutic riding lesson encourages bonds of friendship and mutual respect." (www.sasinc.org)
