October 10-18, 2020
As you know Covid has come with many challenges. Unfortunately for HorsePower this means we will not be able to hold our normal Bowling fundraiser in February. So instead we are taking our fundraising virtually! Our event is definitely unique. We are not going by distance but minutes! Complete any activity of your choice: walking, running, or riding horses - or a combination of all three! Come out and join us virtually this October - we will all have a great time together - apart!
After you register, come back here and sign in to view the event. You will see your fundraising page the app to download from your phone to track your minutes. Set a goal on your fundraising page, maybe $1 per minute...you hope to achieve from October 10th through the 18th. Then send that page out to family, friends, etc to sponsor and donate toward your goal! Next make sure to download the app on your phone, this will help you to track your minutes. Finally, take pictures of your activity to post to this page after you are done!! We will use these photos on our Facebook page for a contest at the end!

HorsePower Therapeutic Riding
Our History and Mission
Physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges no longer need to stand in the way of those with special needs who dream about getting into the saddle and making a connection with a special horse. We strive to show our students the horse's power to change us, inside and out! Individualized lesson programs include intake and assessment sessions, groom and tack, groundwork, and horseback riding instruction. We also provide non-disabled riders the extra support they may desire as well as carefully trained, reliable horses and a safe, fun environment in which to learn.
Therapeutic horseback riding is a dynamic recreational activity in which individuals with special needs are able to overcome challenges and learn new skills. Communication, connection, and teamwork between the student and their horse offers opportunities for physical, emotional, cognitive, sensory and social growth. Plus, the horse provides irresistible motivation which allows students to achieve more in the saddle than other traditional sports and therapies.
HorsePower students are taught to ride with ever-increasing levels of independence. Trained volunteer horse leaders and side-walkers are provided initially, and slowly pulled away over time as the rider demonstrates the ability to safely guide their own horse. All students are encouraged to schedule adequate time to learn how to groom and tack their horse prior to the lesson....enriching the bond and providing additional opportunities for skill acquisition.
