Circle of Hope Therapeutic Riding

Barnesville, Maryland

Cause Description:
Circle of Hope Therapeutic Riding is a nonprofit organization that provides equine assisted therapy to children and adults with disabilities. Simply stated, equine assisted therapy is therapeutic horseback riding using equine activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well being of individuals with disabilities. Riding offers therapeutic benefits in a very non-clinic-like setting. Due to the unique relationship formed between the participant and the horse, most participants experience increased confidence, patience and self-esteem, as well as increased independence, improved balance, posture and muscle tone. These results are extremely rewarding and provide participants with a sense of accomplishment that no amount of traditional therapy can ever provide.
