Benefits of the equine experience are threefold:
1. Physical - The motion of the horse stimulates the rider much like the motion of walking. Riding also relaxes and strengthens muscles while improving muscle tone, posture, balance, joint mobility, and coordination.
2. Emotional - Interactions with horses provide a noncompetitive setting for learning new abilities, self-discipline, and improved concentration which all help in building self-confidence.
3. Social - Horseback riding nurtures a positive self-image. Riders and handlers experience independence plus a sense of being part of a team.

Our Program
At Rising Tide we offer individualized programs. Lesson plans are created in a team approach with realistic goals established for each person. At the end of the eight week session, we assess the progress and determine if the objectives are helping to meet the goals. A main goal for each student is to feel a sense of accomplishment as well as the development of a relationship with the horse.
