Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, effective today, our Therapeutic Riding program, along with our Anxiety Support Group will be suspended until at least April 1st. At that time we will reassess the situation and communicate our decisions. We do understand that for many families our lessons and support are a focal part of your week. As always, the safety and wellbeing of our participants, volunteers, staff and equine partners continues to be of utmost importance. This is a difficult and unpredictable time for everyone. We promise to keep you updated throughout this uncertain period. We remain dedicated to providing our services to you in the future and thank you for your loyalty and understanding. Hoping everyone stays emotionally/physically strong and healthy; and look forward to seeing you soon! Thank you, New Beginnings Board of Directors and Staff

Equine Assisted Activities
Therapeutic riding encompasses many equine assisted activities. Riding, grooming, and leading horses encourages physical, cognitive and emotional advancement and helps develop social skills for those of all abilities. The horse's natural movement replicates the human gait and riding encourages three dimensional hip rotation and movement of the spine. This exceptional ability is beneficial not only to those with special needs, but also to anyone with mobility issues.
