Our Programs
At Bit by Bit, we believe everyone deserves the joy and transformative power of horseback riding, no matter their challenges. Riding a horse isn’t just an activity—it’s a therapeutic experience that can improve flexibility, balance, and strength while creating a special bond with these incredible animals. Through our adaptive and therapeutic riding programs, we help individuals of all ages and abilities, including veterans in our Horses for Heroes program, find healing and empowerment.
Whether you’re looking for therapeutic benefits, fun and educational riding lessons, or enriching workshops for scouts and groups, our dedicated team is here to make your experience safe, supportive, and truly memorable. With patient instructors, caring volunteers, and our amazing equine partners, we create a warm, welcoming environment where confidence grows and connections flourish. Come see how the gift of horses can change lives—one ride at a time.
Recreational Therapeutic
Horseback Riding
A disability does not have to limit a person from riding horses. In fact, experiencing the motion of a horse can be very therapeutic. Because horseback riding rhythmically moves the rider’s body in a manner similar to a human gait, riders with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance and muscle strength.
Therapeutic Horseback Riding lessons, also known as adaptive riding, are recreational riding lessons that are designed to accommodate the special needs of the rider. Lessons may be private or in small groups of 2 -4 riders. Therapeutic Riding lessons are not usually covered by health insurance as they are recreational (non-medical) lessons
