Question 1

Can we ride the horses and mules?

Accepted Answer

No, I'm sorry. The safest way to keep our clients and equines safe is to offer ground based services. Riding requires alot from not only the equines but also the physical skills of the rider. We work with the clients mental health and emotional state not their core strength and balance. Our programs are ground based to be accessable to a wider variety of clients of all abilties and levels of experience. 
Alot of our equine team have retired from competition or are at the beginning of their careers and this gives them a meaningful life and interactions with humans that doesn't involve a physical toll
