Therapeutic Sports Riding:

Our Therapeutic Riding program is the heart of our school. For many people and families who live day to day with physical and/or mental disabilities or injuries, enjoying such an active and intimidating sport like horseback riding is usually not thought possible. At Celisse's School of the Equestrian Arts we want you to know and to believe that Anything IS Possible. Over the last four years our developing program has not only proven that equine activity for the special needs or injured community is possible, but also that health and healing for a wide range of difficulties is just a horse ride away. We have watched over and over again families typically excluded from other activities due to the particular hardships they face, find a home here. If you or someone you know could benefit from our program, please share our information with them.

Here are some of the conditions that we have experience working with and a few links to more information on Therapeutic Riding.

Trots for Tots:

Tybalt's Trots for Tots is a hands-on program designed to promote physical and mental development for toddlers with the aid of horses. In this course the parents will be participating with side-walking, game participation, and eventually riding the horse with their little ones. Closed toe shoes are required.

This is a 4 week program. We will begin to announce class dates as interest develops. We limit each class to 8 participants.

Birthday Parties:

We have helped make a lot of birthdays special! Thank you for your interest- references are available upon request. All children must have signed release forms. If they do not have one, they will not be able to ride. I ask that there be one adult for every two children. You provide food, drinks, music, etc. and you set-up and tear-down. I do not charge for set-up or tear-down time. To book a party or for more information, please call me at 251-289-1244.
