Our Services
Therapeutic Riding
At PRDA we strive for therapeutic excellence as we provide individualized, and adaptive Therapeutic Riding. We specialize in serving individuals with a wide range of diverse cognitive and/or physical abilities, starting as young as 2 years of age. Together, with our team of dedicated staff, volunteers, partnering organizations and therapy horses, we work to enhance the quality of life for each rider by tailoring therapeutic riding sessions to achieve their unique individual goals.
Equine Assisted Clinical Counselling (EACC)
Equine Assisted Clinical Counselling (EACC) at PRDA combines counselling and equine therapy. Supported by a PRDA therapy horse, our clinical counsellor provides a variety of counselling techniques suited to each individual, while the equine specialist assists in pairing the therapeutic techniques with equine-assisted activities. We strive to provide a safe space for all individuals to be themselves, grow and heal.
Short-Term Rehabilitation
PRDA provides short-term rehabilitation therapeutic riding services for individuals recovering from illness, surgery, or even an accident. We welcome all enquiries from medical professionals and individuals regarding our ability to use therapeutic riding to assist in the achievement of rehabilitation goals. After a confidential inquiry and assessment process, PRDA will develop an individualized therapeutic riding plan, including associated costs.
