Our Story

North Terrace Equestrian Services riding school offers Horse Wisdom through Equine-Assisted Learning. Equine-assisted learning (EAL) is a non-therapy skills-based service that focuses on teaching life skills, social skills, communication skills, or leadership skills while facilitating personal growth and increased self-awareness through both mounted and non-mounted interactions with horses.

Adaptive/Therapeutic horseback riding Adaptive Riding: Adaptive riding is a non-therapy skills-based service in which specially trained instructors teach horseback riding and horsemanship skills to students with disabilities or special needs. Therapeutic riding provides benefits in the areas of health, education, sport and recreation & leisure.

Adaptive Riding is recreational horseback riding lessons for individuals with special needs. Riders learn horsemanship and riding skills in an environment tailored to their individual needs and learning styles. We offer instruction to riders of all skill levels. Adaptive riding Services and Equine assisted learning are provided by educators, riding instructors, or life/professional development coaches who create a wide variety of games and exercises designed to meet each student's needs. Lesson plans take into account the rider's physical, emotional, and mental strengths and limitations. Classes include arena riding, trail rides, and group activities. With the combination of a trusted horse, instructor, and group of volunteers, riders become more willing to try new things and attain new goals.
