Reining Strength Therapeutic Horsemanship in Richmond, Texas, is transforming lives by facilitating connections between riders and horses. The center serves individuals with diverse physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs, emphasizing community and personal potential. Executive Director Heather Sedillo highlights the physical benefits, noting that riding can generate thousands of sensory inputs to improve core strength and balance, particularly for those with autism. Certified instructors tailor lessons to accommodate each rider's unique abilities, fostering both physical strength and emotional growth, as evidenced by the success stories of families who have witnessed remarkable improvements in their children's abilities.
Riding the horse provides 3,000 to 6,000 steps in one session, depending on the length of the ride. You're getting 3,000 to 6,000 inputs into the body.
All of our instructor staff, they have special training, not only to teach horsemanship skills, but to be knowledgeable of different abilities and disabilities.
When I see Maddie on the horse, it's just instant emotion for me, because she's accomplishing goals and it makes her feel incredible.
He has started saying a few words now. He was non-verbal before we started. There's more signing that he's doing.
