Heroes on Horseback fosters: 

Safe, professional and ethical equine assisted activities for individuals in the Lowcountry with physical, mental or emotional disabilities without regard to race, color, creed, or financial need.

Heroes on Horseback offers three major categories of Equine Assisted Activities.

1) MOUNTED EQUINE ASSISTED THERAPY: 

The lesson is facilitated by a certified NARHA instructor. Whenever possible, HOH encourages input from the client's licensed therapist to maximize the benefit of individual lesson plans.

2) THERAPEUTIC SPORT RIDING:

Mounted Lessons include exercises, riding skills and games. The mounted segment of the lesson challenges the rider in balance, coordination, motor skills, body awareness, strength, flexibility, teamwork, socialization and self-esteem.

3.) UNMOUNTED EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING & VOCATIONAL TRAINING: 

This program recognizes the physical, occupational and emotional benefits of working with and around horses. This ground work only program is designed for participants that cannot or do not wish to ride. The program offers activities that help participants develop physically, cognitively, socially and psychologically. Participants also gain skills that they may use in the field of horse management. This may be offered in a weekly lesson format or as a clinic.
