Client Testimonials
At Brady Therapeutic Riding, we take our clients on a new path of healing and freedom.
Imagine a foster child, afraid of the world and distrusting of any adults, finding a place to cry and not be made fun of. Within an hour, this young boy finds the courage to ride a horse for the first time with adults he can finally trust.
Imagine a systems-impacted teen girl having the chance to hug the neck of a horse - when hugs from humans have always felt unsafe to her. Imagine this same girl several months later coming out of her shell, opening up and sharing her life with staff and volunteers, and taking initiative, leadership and ownership of her responsibilities at the program.
Imagine a young man with disabilities, who isn’t able to tie his own shoelaces, feeling a sense of purpose and accomplishment as he learns to independently halter and lead a horse out of its stall. He learns to wash horse bowls at Brady and then applies these skills to the dirty dishes in the sink at home.
Imagine a teen girl with physical disabilities unable to walk on her own. She discovers the joy of moving independently without a walker or wheelchair. This same teen then begins her own vocational skill training by fetching a halter from the barn .
These are real stories of actual Brady Therapeutic Riding clients who have taken part in our various therapeutic programs!
“H” a decade of growth, community and healing
“I had absolutely no idea how incredibly life-changing being part of this program would become — not just for our son, but even more so for our entire family!”
TEAGAN: Unmatched experience and “open arms”
"When we first looked into therapeutic riding programs, we were told by another organization that they didn’t feel comfortable taking on a child like Teagan... Brady welcomed her with open arms and saddles!"
