Our Facility
Volunteers are instrumental in the operation of our programs. Not only do they afford those with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy a therapeutic leisure activity, but they also experience the benefits and joy of helping others. Demands for therapeutic riding program(s) continue to increase rapidly especially as government programs continue to be cut. This form of rehabilitation has gained wide recognition. Equine activities develop self-awareness, build self-confidence, and improve concentration and self-discipline. Physically, balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and posture are improved as well. The sense of freedom and independence exercise the spirit as well as the body, stimulating a new mode for learning and movement. Carry-over to the home and school enhances the main goal of Centaur Stride: improved quality of life for those with special needs.
