From grooming and saddling a horse, to riding, each exercise is structured to gradually improve skills, self-discipline, coordination, and attention span. Stimulating physical exercise that strengthens muscles, balanced with heightened self-confidence, determination, and ambition. Management and Administration Challenge Unlimited is governed by a Board of Directors and managed daily by an Executive Director, an Office Manager, and Program and Volunteer Coordinators. Volunteers needed seven days a week, all hours. Not enough credit can be given to the many volunteers who assist staff each week throughout the year.
New volunteers receive training in workshops held weekly.
Responsibilities include leading horses, sidewalking while clients ride, and helping them with chores. Volunteers who prefer more administrative tasks are always needed for office work and special events. We are fortunate that Ironstone Therapy exists. Ironstone Therapy offers a service to surrounding communities that is unique - specifically, the ability to provide a combination of professional medical expertise and the beauty and serenity of a real farm, within easy access of a metropolitan population. About Hippotherapy Hippotherapy is based on the premise that when an individual sits on a walking horse, the multidimensional movement of the horse produces a similar effect on the person as the normal walking movement.
