Partners Therapeutic Horsemanship is proud to serve San Diego Regional Center clients as a recreational activities vendor.
-
We offer mounted and unmounted lessons, depending on a student's needs and size.
-
The minimum age is three years, but most students are at least four years old before they are developmentally ready to begin. The current weight limit for mounted lessons is 120 lbs.
-
Lessons are held Tues through Thurs afternoons and Sat mornings.
-
There is a waitlist for all lessons at this time. Interested SDRC clients can submit our Student Application to placed on the list.
-
As students advance up the list, they will be scheduled for a complimentary evaluation where they come to our facility to meet a horse while we determine their mounted or unmounted staffing and support needs.
-
The Physician's Statement (from the Student Application) and the evaluation are a major part in determining if lessons can be safely offered to each individual student. Safety is also regularly revisited as students grow and their needs may change.
-
It is not until after the evaluation that we ask SDRC clients to work with their service coordinator to request authorization for funding.
