Equine-assisted therapy offers developmentally disabled
persons with a variety of physical and mental challenges an
alternative to the traditional clinical setting by providing
therapy on horse-back. Because the gait of a horse is
similar to the human stride, this particular therapy
strengthens and supports the natural motion of the spine
and pelvis.
An integrated team of instructors and volunteers work
with the rider and horse to promote the success, the
freedom, and the dignity that can be experienced through
therapeutic horsemanship.
Equine-Assisted Therapy, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3
organization dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback
riding activities for individuals with disabilities within the St.
Louis area. EAT is a member of NARHA (North American
Riding for the Handicap Assoc.). The riders are charged a
small fee, but that covers less than a fourth of operating
cost. Funding for this program comes from fund raisers,
special events, individual and corporate donations, and
government grants.
Equine-Assisted Therapy, Inc. is centrally located in West
St. Louis County at Long View Farm Park in Town and
Country at the corner of Clayton & Mason roads.
