Information for Riders
The philosophy of Cloud Dancers’ approach is to help individuals from age four through adulthood reach their potential by building on many small successes. A fun and challenging riding program is designed for each student with achievable goals. As the riders practice trying to attain their goals, self-esteem and confidence also grow.
Much of the credit for the success of the equestrian programs may be attributed to the very special connection between horse and rider. A developing partnership allows gentle, trained horses to understand and feel the commands of a rider who may often be dependent on others in most aspects of their lives. It is this magical horse-rider partnership which makes the Cloud Dancers Program so special.
The therapeutic value of the program, such as strengthening and relaxing muscles, developing coordination and increasing joint mobility, is matched only by the uplifting emotion and pride shared by the riders and those who love them.
