Equest’s staff are nationally certified as therapeutic riding instructors through NARHA and our licensed occupational therapists are dually certified as NARHA therapeutic riding instructors and American Hippotherapy Association therapists. We provide a safe, inclusive, and professional program to address a variety of challenges.

With the help of trained therapy horses and a team of instructors, therapists, and volunteers, students are taught the foundations of equine behavior, horse care, and horsemanship skills appropriate to their age, needs, and level of ability. In so doing, riders with disabilities have an opportunity to experience the benefits that are unique to equine-facilitated therapy. With a therapy horse’s non-judgmental approach, quiet trust, and sense of play, students are highly motivated to learn and grow.
