Hooves for Harmony, Inc. Free Therapeutic Horseback Riding for Children with Special Needs. Located at Morning Star Farm Novato. http://www.hoovesforharmony.org

Horses have the same gait patterns as humans, so the child on horseback is being moved in the same way as if he were naturally walking. The muscles and nerve connections activated to stay balanced on the horse are strengthened and coordinated repetitively. Providing therapy on horseback is a unique strategy based on the movement of the horse and the surrounding environment. Performing these rigoro

us activities in the out-of-doors stimulates the riders’ senses. By engaging the student entirely, a rider can make unprecedented improvements in motor and speech skills. Safety is a huge focus at our facility. Volunteers are trained extensively how to handle therapy horses and how to interact with our riders. Being a certified horse trainer, I have ensured that our therapy horses are specifically trained for therapy, learning to react appropriately to situations that commonly arise with and without disabled riders. While no horse will always behave perfectly, issues will be addressed and corrected, and riders will not be put on a horse that is not safe.

Hey team! I have been wanting to start a new Heja group for folks that might want to fill in for last minute openings. I just created it. I will post the date and time for openings and it will be first come, first serve! If you are on the waiting list, and have not ridden yet, you would just need to make sure you have your release forms done before coming out.

We decided not to do the trail today because of the overgrowth, which leads volunteers and horses to be covered in ticks. If you have a moment, please request that this gets mowed by the city. You have to find the trail on the map adeop a pin: please choose a spot between the eucalyptus trees and the dog park. Here is a photo you can upload too! Thank you!!!!!
