HORSEPOWER is accredited by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) as a Premier therapeutic horseback riding Center. Located in Colfax, HORSEPOWER has served North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad community since 1995. For people with mental, physical, social, or emotional disabilities and challenges, horseback riding and other equine activities prove to be a source of learning, happiness, and physical exercise. By using horses as an exciting source of motivation, and by moving therapy sessions from a doctor’s office to a horse’s back, HORSEPOWER’s program helps people with disabilities develop new motor skills, learn new words, and strengthen previously unused muscles.
