Therapeutic riding is the core of our program. Certified instructors, with trained volunteers assist riders to achieve goals, acquire horsemanship skills, and establish a special bond with their horses.
We serve children and adults with a wide range of special needs, such as Cerebral Palsy, developmental delays, sensory integration disorder, Down Syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, paraplegia, learning disabilities, stroke, mental health issues and behavior challenges. Physicians, therapists, counselors, teachers, family members and friends refer participants to THEP. Participants may come to THEP as individuals or as part of a school, recreation, therapy or other group. No clinical diagnosis is necessary to participate; however, participants must have a need for our specialized, therapeutic environment.
Please note – if you are new to THEP, and are interested in participating in our programs please contact us at El_Paso_THEP@yahoo.com, or call 915-886-4888 . Our program coordinator will contact you about arranging an evaluation to ensure that we can safely accommodate you in our program.
