Equine Riding Therapy
Located in Summerville, Pa, on TTSR property, is our 100+ acre equine riding therapy arena. This program teaches horse related activities such as mounting, riding, walking, boarding, feeding, and grooming. The program also teaches the importance of maintaining and caring for horses, safety and health concerns in the horse barn. Students and riders will be trained by a certified equine trainer who will teach techniques and skills necessary when riding in the horse arena and on the horse trail. There are many physiological and psychological benefits documented in people during interactions with animals. These include lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased beta-endorphin levels, decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, improved social functioning, and increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self-esteem.
