Questions to ask a program

  1. What are the rider requirements? Each program sets its own. Ask what forms or evaluations it needs before a first ride.
  2. Who teaches? Ask about the instructors' training and their experience with riders like you or your child.
  3. Riding, hippotherapy or both? Ask which services the program offers and who provides them.
