SUPPORT OUR MISSION

What are Equine-Assisted Services?

Equine-assisted services (EAS) is a term used to refer to various services in which professionals incorporate horses and other equines to benefit people. Three areas of EAS have been identified:
Therapy, Learning and Horsemanship.

Tailored Rides is focused on the Horsemanship aspect of EAS. The motion of a horse can be very therapeutic. Riders with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance and muscle strength.

Therapeutic/adaptive horsemanship contributes to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of individuals with disabilities.

In addition to the therapeutic benefits, horseback riding also provides recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities to enjoy the outdoors.

NEW PROGRAM

Tailored Rides Equine Assisted Therapy Inc. is proud to launch a free Equine-Assisted Program for Veterans and First Responders, designed to support those who have served our communities and our country.
This program offers a hands-on Horsemanship 101 experience, meeting once a week for four weeks, with each session lasting approximately 90 minutes. Participants will engage in meaningful, ground-based work with horses that challenges confidence, communication, self-awareness, and leadership—no prior horse experience required.
We understand that life, service, and healing don’t fit into rigid schedules. Flexibility is key. We work with each participant to accommodate their availability, remove barriers to access, and minimize red tape and paperwork so the focus stays where it belongs—on your well-being.
Our approach is holistic and participant-centered, empowering Veterans and First Responders to take an active role in their own health and welfare through connection, experiential learning, and personal growth. This is a space of respect, support, and strength—tailored to you.

PATH activities are based on an educational model; skills are taught to riders, vaulters and students. The professional guiding the experience is a specially-trained, PATH-certified instructor. Accreditation is voluntary and the process is a peer review system. A center that meets the accreditation requirements based on the administrative, facility, program and applicable special interest standards becomes a PATH Intl. Center.
