Karins Horse Connection Programs
Karin’s Horse Connection provides equine-centered therapeutic programs open to people of all ages and abilities. Our passion is to see other people fall in love with our horses and find the healing and joy that comes from a human-horse connection. Many of our instructors are PATH International (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) certified and have years of experience working with children, youth, and adults. We have several very well-trained ponies and horses that love people, and who are used to working with whatever special accommodations are required.
Horses Make Great Therapists
Karins Horse Connection Programs
Vaulting
Equestrian vaulting is a unique sport and an art form that combines dance and gymnastics on a moving horse. In addition to being a fun way to work with horses, vaulting promotes balance, confidence, strength and oneness with the horse. It builds horsemanship skills, artistic expression, teamwork, responsibility and more!
Therapeutic Programs
Karin’s Horse Connection is our 501(c)3 non-profit which provides equine centered therapeutic programs open to people of all ages and abilities – everyone is welcome! We offer Adaptive Vaulting, Therapeutic Riding, a Farm Work Therapy program, and the opportunity for groups to come on Field Trips and experience the stables and ride the horses. And for those that may not physically be able to come to the stables, we can come to you with our certified therapy horse, ‘Peanut’!
Field Trips
Our Field Trip program offers 1.5 hours of hands-on horse fun which includes time with many different horses of all sizes and various stations to rotate through. In these stations students will get to tour the barn, learn how to groom a horse, how to be safe around them, and other fun facts. They will experience Riding, Vaulting, horsey games, and more!
