Jaf's Programs

Our staff is made up of PATH International certified therapeutic riding instructors, a licensed physical therapist and occupational therapist.

Each of these professionals determines their riders current abilities and future goals. An individual session plan is developed and implemented using a positive step-by-step gradual progression in hopes of taking each child or teen beyond their acquired limits, building new skills and resulting in new found confidence and self esteem that can be carried over to other life situations outside the arena.  We pride ourselves in providing services that meet the needs of our riders.
