Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions or needs does therapeutic horseback riding typically address?
Therapeutic riding is used to support individuals with physical disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, anxiety, PTSD, and various developmental challenges. The rhythmic movement of the horse and the bonding aspect of equine interaction can produce benefits that complement traditional therapies.
Does my child need to have experience with horses to participate?
No prior experience is needed. Therapeutic riding programs are specifically designed to introduce participants to horses safely and gradually. The horses used in these programs are carefully selected for their calm temperament and reliability.
Is therapeutic riding covered by insurance or Medicaid?
Coverage varies widely depending on your provider and how the sessions are structured. It's worth contacting your insurance company directly and asking the center whether they work with any specific programs or documentation that might support a claim.
How long are typical therapeutic riding sessions?
Sessions generally run between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the participant's stamina and goals. The staff will work with you to determine the right session length based on the individual's needs and progress over time.
Are parents or caregivers allowed to observe sessions?
Most therapeutic riding programs welcome family observation, as it helps caregivers understand what's happening during sessions and carry the benefits into daily life. Check with the center to understand their specific policy on this.
What makes Faith Equestrian different from a regular riding stable?
The focus here is on measurable outcomes for the rider's wellbeing, not just recreational enjoyment. The horses, the instruction methods, and the session design are all oriented toward therapeutic goals, which requires a different level of training and intentionality compared to standard riding programs.
