Stable Hands - Hearts, Hands and Horses...
...Building Dreams, Changing Lives
 Our Program Using Therapeutic Riding
Therapeutic Riding is specialized instruction in riding skills and horse management taught by riding instructors certified by PATH, Intl., the Professional Association of Therapeutic Riding, International. This includes education both on and off the horse in the areas of riding skills, stable management, basic equine care and safety. The goal is for the rider to be and become as independent as possible. Specific objectives and goals are planned and implemented by the instructor. Our riders generally improve physically, mentally and socially while riding and learning from their horses.
 Attention Service Veterans!
Stable Hands’ Horses for Heroes program has openings.
This therapeutic horsemanship program gives veterans the chance to enjoy the dignity of risk and experience success in an outdoor ranch setting.
In June of 2009 under the auspices of PATH, Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) Horses for Heroes, Stable Hands expanded their services to include wounded service members and veterans. Veterans with diagnoses of PTSD, TBI, amputations, burns, and neurological impairment are encouraged to take advantage of this service. The program is open to veterans of all ages.
Stable Hands’ Horses for Heroes is built on the foundation of "soldiers helping soldiers" and utilizes the camaraderie between service men and women to provide a healing environment. Trained volunteers are themselves service veterans which is beneficial for building relationships and trust.
Please contact Stable Hands at (530) 842-3082 for further information on this outstanding opportunity.
