Supported riding lessons last 45 minutes and include mounted riding plus unmounted horse care such as grooming, with one to three volunteers leading and side-walking depending on the rider. There are also 30-minute non-riding grooming sessions aimed at motor and social-emotional skills. Prices are not published on the website; families are asked to contact the team for pricing.
