About the Program
According to the Therapeion page on the Courage Rock website, Therapeion was established in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and moved to Courage Rock Stable in 2023 as its permanent home. The riding program keeps the Therapeion name and serves riders in White, Tippecanoe and surrounding counties.
Courage Rock Stable was established in June 2017 by founder Kim Markham. The site says it is a PATH Intl. member and that riding is taught by a PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (CTRI).
Getting Started
Therapeion classes have up to four riders and run 45 minutes, and the website says a class can include mounting, riding, untacking and grooming the horse. Sessions run 4, 6 or 8 weeks depending on the time of year, and riders typically enroll in one class per week. Riders must be at least 5, need physician clearance and must complete an application each year. Riders over 180 pounds may not be able to ride and are asked to call to discuss alternatives.
Project Horses and Heroes offers riding and unmounted groundwork for veterans, military personnel and their families, free of charge according to the website. The facility includes a 50' x 160' indoor arena.
