 Welcome
All Riders Up, a non-profit charitable
organization, has been established to provide area
residents with special needs a way to exercise,
improve balance and coordination, strengthen core
muscles, and develop self-confidence by learning to
ride our beautiful horses. We are unique in being
able to give our students and their families the
comfort of knowing that a physician and several
registered nurses are directly involved on-site.
Because our program is conveniently located on
twelve acres in a residential area, its’ home-like
atmosphere provides a quiet, relaxed environment to
build confidence in apprehensive and beginner
riders.
Since 1969, the
Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International, Inc. (PATH), has provided
standards for Equine Assisted Activity and Therapy
(EAAT) programs worldwide through its accreditation
of nearly 800 member centers. We are a PATH Center
Member, whose instructors are PATH certified. PATH
was formerly called NARHA (North American Riding
for the Handicapped).
Centered Riding® is an innovative way of
expressing the classical principles of riding, using
body awareness, centering, and imagery. We embrace
the philosophy of Centered Riding and have two
Centered Riding Instructors available.
With the help of specially trained staff, certified
in therapeutic riding instruction, and a team of
volunteers, we offer 45 minute private and
semi-private lessons.
