Little Riders is an adaptive horseback-riding program that is specifically designed for children with physical and cognitive disabilities ages 4-21. Equine programs such as this one can help improve balance, strength and coordination, which result in increased mobility, independence and overall function. Classes take place in San Luis Obispo, and are led by Bonnie Burt, a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) registered therapeutic riding instructor. Bonnie works with a team of trained volunteers in an encouraging setting where children can experience the miracles of working with horses.
