Dream Riders of Kentucky serves nearly 300 individuals each year through
the following equine assisted activities.
Therapeutic
Horseback Riding:
Dream Riders has been providing therapeutic horseback riding since
2003. This type of non-traditional
therapy provides a unique opportunity for individuals with disabilities to
improve the health of their bodies, minds, and spirit. There are multiple physical benefits
including increased balance, coordination, muscle strength, and
posture. We serve individuals with
all types of disabilities, including those with cerebal palsy, Down
syndrome, autism, epilepsy, neurological disorders, vision and hearing
impairments, and orthopedic disabilities.
Carriage
Program:
Beginning in 2009, Dream Riders began a carriage program, allowing us to
serve individuals who are not able to participate in the riding program due
to significant physical disabilities, limited mobility, excessive weight
issues, and the elderly.
