  • With practices starting on Saturday mornings in February, a separate Special Olympics equestrian program works toward a local competition in April. Select riders from this group also attend the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania Annual Summer Games held in State College in early June!
  • During the warmer months, the riders enjoy the wonderful trails through the wooded area around the farm. All our riders enjoy the fish pond along one of these trails.
  • In the arena, a variety of fun therapeutic activities are used to accomplish the goals recommended by the therapist.

 

Targeted areas may include:
  • Improving balance
