Therapeutic Riding is a mode of therapy utilizing
functional riding skills, equine movement and a variety of therapy
activities to achieve specific cognitive, physical and emotional goals.
The UNH Therapeutic Riding Program adapts equine activities to allow for
participation of riders over the age of 5 with cognitive, physical and
emotional challenges. Activities take place in a normal equine
environment, augmented with therapeutic games and activities.
Adaptations are diagnosis-specific and focus on maximizing the abilities of
each individual, rather than concentrating on disabilities.
