Who We Are:Greenlock Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc., is a non-profit
organization that utilizes equine-related activities for the therapy of
individuals with physical, developmental, and emotional differences. Uniquely, the horses are our treatment
partners. We offer both Hippotherapy
and Therapeutic Riding that teaches specific riding skills. Hippotherapy is a practice in which
physical, speech, and occupational therapists employ the horse’s movement as
a treatment tool to improve neuromuscular function, language and fine motor
skills. Hippotherapy relies on the
sensory input provided by the horse’s rhythmic and repetitive gaits to prompt
a neuromuscular response in the rider – a response that mimics the movement a
child’s body would ordinarily make while walking. We offer hippotherapy and therapeutic riding to physically,
mentally, and emotionally-challenged persons from throughout RI and
Southeastern MA. Contact us via email: greenlock1@tmlp.com Hippotherapy Courses Scheduled
