Therapeutic Riding Academy of Knoxville

Program

We here at Therapeutic Riding Academy offer various activities from a combination of sensory and emtional stimulation to producing mobility, verbal and social skills along with the independent feeling.

We have learned that the swinging movement a horse provides a rider will challenge the rider to respond with the movements which will enhance coordination, circulation while strengthening lax muscles in the process. Therefore, horseback riding is a great extra ciricular activity for children of all ages in any level of development.

No need to be concerned over our horses as they have been trained to walk quietly possessing a calm warming feeling for the children. Also, these horses/ponies have been donated, leased, or purchased.

Our Academy is open to any children, however Therapeutic Riding has been proven to be quite helpful to children with special needs. We believe in giving everyone a chance though. These needs can include:

Our team truly enjoys the look of happiness the kids get when they get to spend time with these horses. It truly is a fun time.
