Hoofbeats to Healing is dedicated to serving adults, children, and their families in improving the quality of life of these individuals with emotional, physical, and developmental disabilities. Hoofbeats to Healing assists each individual to his or her specific needs either through therapeutic riding, driving or communication sessions. We use Missouri Foxtrotters and Foxtrotter-Ponies because they have a great rhythmic gait that naturally stimulates the body and works the muscles of the rider in a similar fashion as if they were walking. This can also help strengthen and tone the riders muscles, improves hand/eye coordination and focus, balance and flexibility, concentration, self-esteem, gross/fine motor skills, social skills, self-awareness, discipline, and most importantly independence. |
