CARD's mission is to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities through quality therapeutic horseback riding programs. Since our incorporation in 1969, CARD has provided therapy in the fields of psycho-education, rehabilitation, medicine, and adapted sport. Our program benefits our riders who seek physical or cognitive therapies, who have a variety of disabilities, including Autism, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. The swinging, repetitive motion imparted to the rider through therapeutic horseback riding helps improve balance, coordination, strength and muscle tone, while gently mobilizing the joints. Therapeutic riding also improves sensory processing, focus and concentration, the ability to learn concepts, and communication skills.
