Avenues - Park Street - Therapeutic Riding Program
Therapeutic Horseback Riding is designed to provide both physical and psychological benefits. The warmth and motion of the horse relaxes spastic muscles and mobilizes stiff joints. The horses's rhythmic walk is similar to man's and is beneficial for those who are unable to walk on their own.

Therapeutic Riding has also been proven to improve the following:
Balance
Posture
Motivation
Self-esteem
Independence
Attention Span
