Therapeutic Riding

Horse of the Month


No-Moe
The Carriage Barn, Newton, NH

No-Moe WLT (N Line out of No Nonsense NTF) is probably our most photographed Haflinger. Our Occupational Therapist uses him with the littlest babies, 1 to 2 year olds; the constraints on such a great 1,100 pound 13-1 horse are tremendous.  He must be perfect all the time. Balls bounce, children scream from fear, volunteers learn how to lead off his nose, but this great horse is always on his best behavior. When he wins “Horse of the Year” at the Kids Horse Show, the parents’ eyes well up with tears.  They have entrusted their most precious possession to No-Moe.  His most endearing mannerism is his soft rumbled whiney when each child pats him at the end of a lesson.

The Carriage Barn Equestrian Center Equine Facilitated Therapy programs seek to enhance physical, psychological, cognitive and emotional healing and strengthening through equine activities. We believe that our quiet, natural outdoor setting provides a serene learning environment. Horses can provide opportunities for a unique relationship that nurture and empower their human partners in a way that brings new insights, self-confidence, improved communication and relaxation. Our programs use a team approach to help each participant maximize the benefits of the equine relationship. Participant, therapist, instructor and horse are this team.
 

TR centers or TR horse owners interested in submitting a Horse of the Month, please e-mail info@equinesite.com This is a free service, and a great way to let the public know about a special horse.

 

About Therapeutic Riding

Therapeutic riding is the use of equine activities for individuals with physical or mental disabilities to improve muscle tone, motor development, balance, posture, coordination and overall emotional well-being. Riders can experience a sense of independence that they may not be able to experience anywhere else.

Most therapeutic riding centers are non-profit, and therefore, they rely heavily on volunteers.  If you have the time to give, check out a TR center near you!  

TR centers are often on the lookout for qualified therapy horses.  An ideal therapy horse is quiet, patient and priceless.  If you 'd like to donate a horse you think might be suitable for such a program, contact your local therapeutic riding center.  Not every horse can be a therapy horse, but those who can will find that life as a TR horse can be quite good!
