RIDING IN THE MOMENT

 

This program is designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other forms of memory loss. We currently partner with long-term care facilities in Northern Colorado who bring clients to us weekly during the summer and fall. We also take individual participants. Some participants enjoy riding, while others engage in ground work with the horses, such as grooming.

Benefits of Riding in the Moment:
  • Enhance levels of engagements, both at the ranch and at the care facility
  • Helps to facilitate positive experiences, reliving memories and connecting with the natural world
  • Demonstrates the power of the human-animal bond
  • Encourages physical and cognitive strengthening activities
