Initial Application for Horseback Riding Beginners


Adaptive Horseback Riding Lessons

Great Plains lessons provide students with opportunities to connect with a PATH certified instructor, volunteers, and a horse in order to improve motor and cognitive planning, sensory integration and social skills, and general well-being.

Services are provided for individuals with physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional special abilities.
