Therapeutic Riding

Offering therapeutic riding in Puerto Vallarta for individuals with diverse physical, emotional, cognitive and special needs.

Therapeutic riding involves structured activities with horses, guided by trained professionals, to promote physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. As the first of its kind in Puerto Vallarta, this program caters to individuals with moderate disabilities, veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , children with developmental delays, and individuals seeking equine physical therapy.

Riding has been shown to improve balance, coordination, and muscle strength in riders with physical disabilities. Additionally, the bond formed between rider and horse can foster emotional connections, boost confidence, and reduce anxiety and stress.

Due to infrastructure, unfortunately not all applicants may qualify for this program, please inquire to see if this is the program for you.
