(44)

Open September thru November 12, 2020
Closed December, January and February. What is Therapeutic Riding? Therapeutic riding uses horse related activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of people with disabilities. The horse's movement is unique and produces 3-dimensional rhythmic, repetitive movements which research has shown

closely simulates the movements of the human pelvis while walking. Some of the benefits riders may receive from experiencing these movements include: increased circulation, relaxation of spastic muscles, strengthening of weak muscles, development of balance, improved coordination, improved posture, increased vocalization, improved sensory awareness/processing and improved attention to task. Who Can Ride? Participants are determined after an evaluation/assessment, time slot availability and appropriate horse availability. Individuals of all ages with varying disabilities and conditions participate in equine assisted activities. These impairments may be in areas of gross motor skills (language, articulation, memory). Some types of disabilities and conditions that participants present may include: Amputations, Autism, Brain Injuries, Cardiovascular Impairments, Stroke, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Emotional Disabilities, Hearing Impairments, Learning Disabilities, Mental Retardation, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Post Polio, Speech Impairments, Spina Bifida, Spinal Cord Injuries, Visual Impairments, Hydrocephalus, Developmental Delay, Sensory Integration Deficits, ADHD/ADD, and other physical, emotional and cognitive disabilities. CCTRC has a weight limit of 190 lbs. at this time.

Campfire Creek has been blessed throughout the years with many equine partners. These special guys have served and still serve with quiet understanding of the many challenges that are entrusted to them. Each rider has their heartfelt willingness. No matter what they’re asked…they give it their all.
Some have ‘gone on’ and some remain but without them Campfire Creek would not exist.
Often we give tribute to our riders, their families and our volunteers but seldom have the horses gotten the recognition they so highly deserved.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you to all of them.
I trust that they understand how much we love them!

Remembering with extreme gratitude and love ❤️
