Therapeutic Riding and Our Gentle Horses
Experience the quiet bond between rider and horse. Our gentle academy horses are trained for patience and calm, providing a safe space for growth and emotional healing.
At the heart of our academy is the quiet connection between a rider and their horse. We believe this bond is the foundation for building confidence and finding inner peace.
Our horses share a calm and friendly bond with each other in our clean and well maintained stables. This gentle nature is what makes them such wonderful therapeutic partners.
Life at the academy is full of pleasant moments. Even our dog loves to help out, showing the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that all our animals enjoy.
We take great pride in our healthy and happy horses. An instructor poses with two of our trusted equestrian partners, ready for a day of riding and training.
About Our Gentle Horses: The Heart of Our Academy
For our sensory-sensitive riders, we assign two staff members per session—one certified instructor walking alongside and a dedicated handler for the horse—ensuring a walk-only, distraction-free environment in our enclosed sand arena.
We select our horses specifically for their steady temperaments. We call them our 'Schoolmasters' because they are low-reactivity and incredibly patient, making them ideal partners for nervous riders or those seeking therapeutic engagement.
Our Approach to Therapeutic Riding
We don't just put you on a horse and call it a session. Our Integrated Therapeutic Training lasts 45 minutes and is designed to build motor skills and confidence from the ground up:
- Ground Work (15 minutes): We start with grooming and tacking. Using dandy brushes and curry combs helps build a connection with the horse and keeps the rider grounded before they mount.
- Mounted Session (30 minutes): This focuses on core strength and balance. We use arm circles, toe touches, and steering exercises around ground poles and cones, exclusively at walk or sitting-trot paces.
Why Our Facility Works
Located inside the Uma Public School in Greater Noida, our grounds offer a peaceful, controlled environment. By removing the chaos of outside distractions, we allow the rider to focus entirely on the horse and their own movements. Whether you are looking for an Assisted Sensory Ride or a more structured training program, our team provides the support needed to ensure you feel secure at every step.
Remember, as we say, apne tulna kisi se mat karo (don't compare yourself with others). Your journey with these horses is yours alone.
