Getting Started

If you’re interested in joining our Adaptive Horsemanship Program, here are the steps to get started:

1. Fill out our Online Participant Application

   • Prospective/new participants, we currently have a wait list for our Adaptive Horsemanship Program. Fill out the online participant application to be added to our pool of applicants.

2. Attend an evaluation

   • When we have a suitable class opening, we will contact to you schedule an evaluation with a PATH-certified instructor. Evaluations include a brief interview, an assessment on our horse simulator (an Equicizer), and a tour of the facility. Evaluations are required and ensure that we can safely provide Adaptive Horsemanship Lessons to you or your participant.

3. Submit remaining forms & payment

   • After a successful evaluation, we require 2 more forms before your first lesson. Please do not submit these until your evaluation is complete, as they must be completed in the current calendar year!

     • Liability Release Form (PDF Download)

       • Download, print & sign the “Liability Release” form. You may scan and return it to us via email (rider@therapeuticridinginc.org)

     • Physician’s Statement (PDF Download)

       • Have your physician fill out the “Physician’s Statement” form. It may be scanned and returned to us via email (rider@therapeuticridinginc.org)

   • Once you your evaluation is complete and we have you scheduled in Adaptive Horsemanship Lessons, you will receive an invoice for payment.
