Special Riders Therapeutic Riding Center, Oregon Illinois.
Pegasus Special Riders is an organization that provides children and adults
with special needs an activity that is both therapeutic and fun, in a safe,
supportive, non-competitive environment. Each client's weekly lesson includes
both riding and care of the horse, so a relationship can develop between
the person and the animal. |
-
All activities are closely supervised by trained
instructors and volunteers.
|
-
Physical therapists and other medical experts assist
with the program as needed.
|
-
Teaching methods, safety standards, and all other
aspects of the program are guided by the principles of the North American
Riding for the Handicapped Association. (NARHA)
