Journeys Therapeutic Riding Society is a non-profit registered Charity that provides a safe, supervised riding experience for children, youth and adults with physical disabilities, special needs or children and youth at-risk. Riding a horse gently and rhythmically provides movement similar to walking.
For persons with special needs, emotional and/or learning needs, the unique relationship with the horse leads to increased confidence, independence and self-esteem.
Journeys Therapeutic Riding Society operates out of the Winning Strides Stable in Nanton, AB and offers this therapeutic riding experience to the Nanton community and surrounding communities including Claresholm, High River, and Okotoks.
Journeys Therapeutic Riding Society provides a fun, enjoyable experience while promoting a balanced, active lifestyle for the riders and inclusion in their community.
Therapeutic riding improves coordination, balance, flexibility and control.
Journeys Therapeutic Riding Society is run with a qualified instructor, a team of volunteers and a board of directors.
