BACKGROUND: The aim of Palomino Equestrian Therapy Services is to provide services which are both person centered and inclusive to the disabled, high risk and underserved community. Services will be provided based on the individual's level of comfort, ability and will range from basic grooming to basic riding as therapy. The target population includes:
????Services for high risk youth
????Services for community members seeking a better understanding of basic riding skills
Equestrian therapy offers an excellent means of physical activity that aids in improving balance, posture, coordination, and most importantly, the development of a positive attitude and sense of accomplishment. In addition, students learn about animal care, grooming and equipment use, which further encourages responsibility and participation. For more information, see: http:
