About Palmer Home Therapeutic Riding

Palmer Hope Reins Therapeutic Riding Program encourages mental and physical development of individuals through equine-assisted activities. Our vision is to stimulate compassion in the children of Palmer Home through equine-assisted outreach to special needs children. Horses are therapeutic by helping individuals overcome fears, build self-esteem, stimulate intellectual function, and inspire confidence. Volunteers are needed to lead horses, tack up horses, help mount riders and arena set up/clean up. Hope Reins Therapeutic Riding Program holds riding sessions Monday thru Friday 9 am to 5 pm. Some experience with horses is desired.
