Our horses are a big part of what makes CART so special. They are friends, confidence builders, and therapists to the children and adults in our program. While lesson fees offset a small amount of our operating expenses, we are funded by donations from members of the community. To help with the cost of care for our horses, we're accepting sponsorships from individuals and businesses.
For our riders, the horses provide movements that help with:
Development of core muscle strength
Putting the rider at equal level
Mimics the walking movement instead of braces or a wheelchair
Develops motor coordination, balance
Horses are non-judgemental, affectionate, patient, and help boost:
Communication and socialization
Self-esteem and confidence
Sense of accomplishment
