If you've ever ridden a horse, you know that mounting the horse is not always an easy task. Now think about those with special needs. How do they mount a horse?
Check out these photos from the Mississippi Valley Therapeutic Horsemanship (MVTH) 2026 Amazing Race Horse Show. They show all the various ways MVTH has to get students on horses. They practice safety for the riders, the horses, & the staff while being able to provide an environment of inclusion into horse therapy.
To say I was impressed is an understatement. The equipment they need to provide this type of therapy is not cheap. If you want to support an organization that really gives an opportunity to teach those with special needs to strengthen their core, to have a healthy respect for animals, & to watch all of their cares just melt away, look into MVTH & support the work that they do for the community.
