Equibloom is a therapeutic riding program. Our program is similar to larger, usually non-profit, therapeutic riding programs. Much like other programs, the horse is used to help facilitate independence through an equine experience. NARHA certification and program standards are upheld.
Equibloom is different in that the program is directed by a professional equestrian, who is NARHA certified. Equibloom horses are selected by a knowledgable equestrian for soundness and suitability. Professional training of the horse is ongoing. Instruction is based on many years of education and experience in the biomechanics of riding.
The beneficial results of therapeutic riding are absolutely the gift of the horse. The Equibloom program focuses on providing the safest environment and using the best horses for riders with challenges. Benefits result from safe and successful experiences with a horse in an equine enviromnent that offers the highest quality experience. Equibloom will ensure the optimal environment, the horse and rider together will "make the difference".
