Riders are referred by physicians, teachers and therapists, who recommend guidelines and assess progress. Horseback riding provides various therapeutic and recreational experiences for the handicapped. It is enjoyable, stimulating and rewarding, while improving balance, coordination, self awareness, confidence, concentration and self-discipline. Safety is of primary consideration.
Special equipment is provided and a certified instructor is always present.
Classes are held at the Morven Park Equestrian Center in Leesburg, Virginia. Visitors are always welcome. Please call for directions and check our class schedule. Loudoun Therapeutic Riding Foundation has been providing riding lessons for riders with disabilities for over 25 years. The program has depended on help from public and private donations.
