White Pine Stables Therapeutic Riding Center

White Pine Stables Therapeutic Riding Center is located on 15 acres just north of Columbus, OH, and provides equine-assisted activities to all age groups with a variety of special needs. Founded in 2007, White Pine Stables Therapeutic Riding Center is an established nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to serving people with disabilities. The center follows the most stringent safety standards in the industry, established by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International, or PATH Intl. By forming a special relationship with horses, students with cognitive, social, physical, and emotional disabilities are able to achieve impressive gains in these areas. Physical benefits include improved balance and mobility, increased muscle tone and coordination, as well as postural improvements. Students also gain greater self-confidence and independence while learning skills in horsemanship and horse care. The unique barn environment provides a great motivator for students to reach goals and learn important life skills such as responsibility and respect. Each student is evaluated and provided a goal-oriented program tailored to their specific needs.
