disabled? h
Not necessarily a problem

 

Back pain? Or just too fat and lazy, like me, to climb a horse?

We understand both of these problems first hand.

The solution is a mounting ramp. Olesya is demonstrating the technique (right).

In the field you'll be able to get on from a fallen tree or a stone. Our horses know what's expected of them and will patiently stand as shown on the photo.

Romashka and especially Moonie are not tall (about 14.2) and are not hard to get on, and as pleasant to fall from as it ever gets. I don't recall any injury of even broken glasses associated with Romashka.

See Horse Rides for Children if you still have any concerns.

The cart is another alternative for those who want to enjoy movement and scenery but cannot climb on the back of a horse.

No, we are not able to offer "hyppotherapy" but will welcome a qualified person to give us a consultation what can be done with what we've got, or even to actively participate in setting up a hyppotherapy program.  Contact me if you have an interest in horse riding as a therapy, either a a user or a provider of it.
