Review for Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center, Bellingham, WA, USA
I began volunteering at the NWTRC five years ago, first by leading horses during lessons. Being a horsewoman myself, I intrinsically knew the emotional benefits from riding but didn't fully understand the physical side affects. It's magical to witness kids/adults with all different types of physical, mental and emotional disabilities as they progress during lessons. The motion of the horse walking/trotting works with the body to produce much better core strength, mobility flexibility and much more. Interacting with the horse also provides a calming and joyful experience while adding self-confidence and sense of achievement. Volumes can be said (and have) about the extensive benefits of hippo therapy.
I created our online newsletter, Ride & Shine and also am now the Event Coordinator, working to raise funds for our wonderful organization. I'm very proud to be a part of the NWTRC!
