Registration

In hippotherapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy professionals use evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful manipulation of equine movement as a therapy tool to engage sensory, neuromotor, and cognitive systems to promote functional outcomes. Hippotherapy is integrated into the patient’s plan of care, along with other other therapy tools and/or strategies.  Treatment can begin at 2.5 years of age.  The weight limit for hippotherapy is 175 lbs. for a balanced rider, 150 lbs. for an unbalanced rider.  A Hippotherapy balanced rider has fair sitting balance and does not need upper extremity support or external support to maintain posture when the horse is moving.  This is subject to therapist/instructor’s discretion.

​

* This program is an 8 week commitment.  We do not offer single ride experiences.
