​Adaptive horseback riding has the ability to teach invaluable lessons, both physical and mental. Horseback riding is one of the only sports that requires the use of every muscle group. While on a horse, riders gain physical strength in coordination, balance, dexterity, motor skills, impulse control, and more. Mentally our riders gain self-esteem, emotional awareness, social skills, focus, confidence, trust, empathy, problem-solving skills, and more. The Human-Animal Bond between our ex-racehorses and riders can actually help our riders effectively reduce their blood pressure, stress, anxiety, and reduce the production of the main stress hormone cortisol.
