Therapeutic Carriage Driving is central to our program. It is a unique form of equine assisted therapy, which has many of the same benefits of therapeutic riding.  Hoof & Harness provides this much needed therapy using two-wheel horse carts and miniature horses to benefit the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the special needs community.  Our individualized lesson plans include elements to target improvements in:
