Mission Statement
Tara’s Chance is dedicated to promoting the physical, cognitive and social well-being of those with special needs through equine assisted activities and therapies.
About This Cause
Equine Horse Therapy provides multi-dimensional movement which is variable, rhythmic as well as repetitive. The horse provides a dynamic base of support, making it an excellent source for improving the rider’s trunk strength, control, balance, overall postural strength and endurance. The results usually include greater coordination, respiratory control, and attention skills. Furthermore, many of the riders enjoy additional emotional and psychological benefits, including reduction in anxiety, depression, increase in empowerment and confidence. While we know that therapeutic riding is a potent form of physical and emotional therapy, the children see it as fun. These children, who typically cannot participate in soccer games or ballet performances, can, through equestrian activities, feel enabled not only to make extraordinary physical, cognitive, and emotional changes, but also feel accomplished because they participate and succeed in a real sport and take pride in performing for family and friends.
