What is a full time therapeutic riding instructor?

Full Time Therapeutic Riding Instructors are professionals who teach horseback riding to individuals with physical, emotional, cognitive, or social challenges. They use equine-assisted activities and therapies to help riders improve their motor skills, confidence, and overall well-being. These instructors are trained in both horsemanship and adaptive teaching methods, ensuring safety and positive outcomes for their clients. Working full time typically means they manage lesson planning, horse care, and sometimes administrative duties at therapeutic riding centers.
