Freedom Ride, Inc Freedom Ride . . . .Horsepower for the Spirit! As participants sit atop a horse, their pelvic area, trunk and upper body move in motion to the horse.

The movement of a horse is a rhythmic side-to-side, forward and backward action that is similar to a human walking. This stimulation gently relaxes taut muscles and thereby increases range of motion for the rider. The movement of the trunk encourages riders to work harder to balance their upper bodies, and routine activities develop hand-eye coordination. Learning new routines, sequencing and acce

ssing short-term memory skills assist individuals who otherwise may experience difficulty with these tasks. Just as important, being able to participate in an activity like their siblings and able-bodied friends increases self-esteem and confidence. With a team of loyal horses, PATH Certified Instructors, and Trained Volunteers, Freedom Ride provides therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with many types of disabilities....cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, autism, developmental delay, attention deficit disorder, deafness, blindness and many emotional and learning disabilities.

This is a momentous day for Freedom Ride! The removal of this pole is the last step before we can begin work on our covered arena!!!!

Karen found THE SPOT! Gravity is such a sweet ham! If you didn’t know, we won him from Lexlin Gypsy Ranch back in 2015/2016. What a beautiful gift he is 🖤🤍

A beautiful presentation of one of our students doing a posting trot on Ms. Image 🩷 The posting trot is not as easy as it appears. It requires many muscles and core strength to do. What other muscles do you think contribute to a posting trot?
