What we aim to solve
RISE Therapeutic Equestrian Center transforms the lives of children and adults in our community with disabilities. As an equine-based therapeutic riding center we offers therapeutic riding and physical therapy (hippotherapy) with the help of the horse. We serve both our clients and their families. We strive to create a community for individuals with cognitive, physical, or emotional challenges to help them meet personal goals, maximize activities of daily living, and improve overall function. We provide our clients the opportunity to be social, gain life skills, work toward independence, and experience of the joys of horsemanship. Our services are open to individuals with a medical diagnosis. Our therapy program serves many clients who, without our services, would not be able to experience the healing of the horse. These clients' diagnoses range from movement disorders, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, to stroke. Our therapeutic riding clients are often working
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Rise Rehab
RISE Rehab utilizes the option of equine movement or hippotherapy, which is defined as how therapists use evidence based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful manipulation of equine movement as a therapy tool to engage sensory, neuro-motor and cognitive systems to promote functional outcomes. The term “hippo” is the Greek word for horse.
