Equine-Assisted Programs

The Equine-Assisted Programs category introduces readers to the many non-clinical ways people engage with horses for learning, skill-building, recreation, and personal growth. Articles in this section explain program types such as adaptive riding, therapeutic riding, equine-assisted learning, groundwork-based horsemanship, inclusive recreational riding, and other structured activities that help participants build confidence, communication skills, coordination, and a sense of connection.

Each guide focuses on what sessions look like, how instructors tailor activities for different needs, and how programs create safe, supportive environments for riders and participants of all ages. This category is ideal for families, educators, and newcomers exploring equine-assisted opportunities outside of clinical therapy
