Ottawa Therapeutic Riding

 
Therapeutic riding has been available in the Ottawa area since the 1970s and continues to grow in popularity. There are many stables in the Ottawa area that offer therapeutic riding programs to a variety of age groups with a wide range of physical, mental and emotional disabilities. The benefits gained from therapeutic riding are enormous. Riding demands physical, mental and social involvement on the part of the rider, strengthens muscles and improves muscle tone, improves balance and coordination and promotes physical fitness and a sense of self-confidence. Check out the several local Ottawa stables that offer therapeutic riding instruction. Visit their websites to find the one that is right for you.
