FREE HORSE CAMP FOR CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
What is the Horse Camp all about and is it right for me?
The Adaptive Horsemanship Program is one of the most popular services offered at Mandy’s Farm. For individuals with developmental and physical disabilities, the program is proven to strengthen muscles, balance, and coordination. It also builds confidence, patience, and self-esteem. It is uniquely designed to build skills in horsemanship and develop a trusting relationship between horse and rider. These classes provide riders, of all experience levels, with the opportunity to learn principles of horse handling, animal care, and Western and/or English riding techniques
