Special Equestrians provides Therapeutic Riding and Hippotherapy to individuals with disabilities, as well as several other programs.  The menu above will help you navigate through our various program offerings.  Our instructors and therapists will make the final decisions regarding eligibility and participation in our programs.

If you are interested in any of our services, please click here to find the appropriate forms to fill out.

Your safety and well-being is our primary concern. Certain disabilities require additional precautions to be taken when on or around horses, and some disabilties are contraindications to riding. Once you become an active rider, all forms will need to be updated on an annual basis. Should the physical condition of the rider change at any time, Special Equestrians must be notified immediately and a new Physician Release Form must be completed. (Please note that the Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy forms may not apply to each applicant.)

When you have returned your completed forms we will contact you to schedule an evaluation. Evaluation last approximately 30-45 minutes and riders are asked to wear long pants and closed-toed boots or sneakers with a rounded toe and small heel. Safety helmets are to be worn by all riders and will be provided.  An Evaluation Fee of $60.00 must be paid day of evaluation.
