Weekly horseback riding, as well as unmounted horsemanship, is available to all in an inclusive setting. The Bridge Center offers traditional English and Western riding lessons for beginner and experienced equestrians, and adaptive riding lessons for children and adults with disabilities. All lessons foster each participant's cognitive, emotional, physical, and social development. Equine-assisted activities improve a participant’s balance, coordination, strength, and executive functions.
The equines in the program are valuable motivators and partners. They live in the present and accept individuals exactly as they are. In turn, they appreciate kindness, patience, and flexibility. Through mounted and unmounted activities with equines, participants can improve their ability to adapt, communicate, initiate, self-regulate, and trust.
Lessons are conducted year-round in a spacious indoor arena, a lighted outdoor arena, and an outdoor obstacle square. Participants and horses also use an outdoor track and multiple interactive exploration paths around the grounds.
