Suppose you are a disabled child or adult living in the area of San Antonio, Texas. Perhaps you love horses, but you thought it was impossible to even get to know these wonderful, patient, animals because of your handicap. Don’t dismay! Visit the Saddle Light Center of Therapeutic Horsemanship and there’s a good chance your life will change for the better. The instructors at Saddle Light are specially trained so they can help children and adults with all kinds of disabilities including, cerebral palsy, autism, learning disabilities and neurological disorders, just to mention a few. You can rest assured that you or you family member will be well well cared for during your time at Saddle Light. It is member of The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (known as PATH.) Additionally, Saddle Light Center is registered with the Physical and Occupational Board of Examiners.
The Saddle Light Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship was founded in 1991, as a 501C3 charity organization. The mission of the Center is to inspire their students to reach goals beyond what was expected. It is well documented that riding helps, muscle strength, self esteem, and balance in handicapped people. Children with autism, who have never spoken, find it easier to relate and speak to the horses. Amazing things can happen through riding. Children who were never expected to walk can surprise everyone when they walk and become accomplished riders through the efforts of the staff and horses at the Saddle Light Center. If you’ve been considering a riding program for yourself or your child, I would encourage you to visit the Center. You might be amazed at what you can accomplish!
