Peace Area Riding for the Disabled Society Sharing stories and information relevant to our members and anyone who supports Equine Assisted Therapies.

Peace Area Riding for the Disabled Society (PARDS) is a not-for-profit therapeutic riding center offering equine assisted therapy to children and adults living with disabilities. Therapeutic Riding Programs provide clients the opportunity to increase social interaction, improve self-esteem and build confidence as well as experience physical benefits such as improved balance, posture, flexibility, sensory awareness and endurance. Riding provides clients with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and presents an environment in which horse and rider develop mutual respect, trust and friendship. Our therapeutic riding program is designed to assist clients with any type of disability whether physical, intellectual, emotional or behavioural or any combination thereof. We achieve these objectives by providing a therapeutic experience which incorporates stretching and strength building exercises, problem solving, colour and name recognition games and a strong relationship with clients and their caregivers to ensure we are fully cognizant of the unique challenges faced by each individual.

Every rider has a story, and every story reminds us why we do what we do 💙🐴

We wanted to showcase Paige and her family sharing their experience with PARDS and the impact that equine-assisted therapy has had on their lives!

At Peace Area Riding for the Disabled Society (PARDS), we believe in the power of the horse-human connection to help children and adults with disabilities build confidence, develop new skills, and experience a sense of belonging 🐎

We’re grateful to Paige and her family for sharing their story and allowing us to be part of their journey!

Stories like these remind us why accessible therapeutic riding programs matter in our community 💙

Congratulations to 💚 Billy Driedger 💛 the winner of our John Deere Green Raffle!

We couldn’t have asked for a more fitting winner! Billy is a mechanic and a dad of six children, so when he went home with the tool box and Gator, we’re pretty sure he became an instant hero at home! 😄

A huge **THANK YOU** to ** RB Oilfield Hauling Inc. ** and Brandt Tractor for their incredible support for helping make this raffle possible!
