This program will enhance the existing programs offered by the camp and conference center and expand the reach of our ministry. The Recreational and Therapeutic Riding Program offers the opportunity for individuals and groups to learn more about themselves and others through organized riding sessions under the direction of professional and volunteer leaders. The recreational program is designed for camp participants and groups who have made prior arrangements with the reservations staff. Guided trail rides and group Iessons will be offered. The therapeutic program is designed for children and adults with disabilities.
Horseback riding offers the student a new physical and visual perspective on the world.
The gentle rhythmic motion of the horse's gait helps the rider's muscles to loosen, increasing the flexibility and strength of the participant. Balance and coordination are enhanced when the riders learn to guide their horses with the reins and to hold their bodies up 'straight and tall in the saddle. Cathe, who is a retired Clayton County educator and long-time Clayton County resident, holds an educational specialist degree from the State University of West Georgia. Her equestrian background is in competitive trail and distance riding. Cathe is assisted by a committed and dedicated volunteer staff.
