For individuals with disabilities, equestrian assisted activities have been shown to improve muscle tone, balance, posture, coordination, and motor-development as well as emotional well being. And it is fun! Volunteers will help lead the horses or will help sidewalk (making sure the child stays in the saddle and they will help with the activities).
