Miracles In Motion Therapeutic Equestrian Center

Vision: We enrich our community by creating opportunities for people with disabilities to connect with the energy and spirit of the horse. Mission: We foster personal achievement by providing diverse equestrian activities with therapeutic, educational and recreational benefits for persons with disabilities.

Miracles in Motion provides a safe, adaptive environment in which our students can reach their individual goals. Confidence, independence, increased attention span and self-pride are a few of the noted benefits that parents and students note each session. Volunteers become more aware of the issues facing people with disabilities in our community and become more sensitive to their needs. This awareness spreads as our volunteers share their perspectives with their families, friends and co-workers. Programming includes: Therapeutic riding classes in which students gain riding skills and work on group and individual goals; hippotherapy program in which specially-trained physical, speech, and occupational therapists work one-on-one with clients to improve their functional ability; and our therapeutic driving classes in which students learn the art of driving a pony or horse pulling a cart. We also host group visits of students who enjoy learning about our ponies, grooming, and leading them in an arena. The Leg Up program provides a hands-on learning experience with horses for at-risk youth.
