Equine Assisted Activities
With the combination of a horse and riding instructor
the participant can achieve specific goals; physical, mental,
motivational and spiritual. All participants must undergo an
evaluation to determine suitability to the program.
At-Risk Youth
LPR can provide Level 1 prevention to At-Risk Youth. Many at-risk youth are victims of abuse, neglect, or
other challenging issues and often have been unresponsive
to traditional therapies.
Veterans
The men and woman that have served our country, many at
a large cost to themselves, benefit from our horses. Equine
assisted activities can assist them physically, mentally, and
emotionally.
Challenged Riders
In addition to cognitive and emotional benefits, horseback
riding strengthens and relaxes muscles, improves posture,
balance and coordination, and increases joint mobility.
Examples of disabilities may include but are not limited to:
(Riders must be able to mount and dismount with assistance.)
