WITH Horses

WELCOME TO LWH

ABOUT

Learning WITH Horses is a Pediatric Therapy Facility incorporating Hippotherapy as a treatment modality to guide the child’s occupational therapy treatment plan. We are located North of San Antonio in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas seven miles off Interstate I-10. Our facility offers 40 acres of green pastures and trails, covered arena, and a therapy clinic.

WHO WE ARE

Our program specializes in therapeutic horseback riding to harmonize the brain and synchronize the body, aiming to cultivate the skills essential for independent learning. Located at Fair Oaks Equestrian Center, just north of San Antonio in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, we’re a mere seven miles off Interstate I-10. Our facility boasts 40 acres of lush pastures and trails, a covered arena, and a dedicated therapy clinic.

From the field

It contains a series of real Latin words. This ancient dummy text is also incomprehensible, but it imitates the rhythm of most European languages in Latin script. The advantage of its Latin origin and the relative meaninglessness of Lorum Ipsum is that the text does not attract attention to itself or distract the viewer’s attention from the layout. There is now an abundance of readable dummy texts. These are usually used when a text is required purely to fill a space.

WHY THE HORSE?

During therapeutic horseback riding sessions, the horse offers a rhythmic movement that
stimulates anterior and posterior swinging motions, closely mimicking the human gait.
Given that therapy horses take an average of 1,500-2,000 steps in a typical therapeutic horseback
riding treatment session, they provide the rider with 1,500-2,000 neuromotor inputs. This
allows for thousands of opportunities to cultivate and fine-tune balance responses,
thereby enhancing core stability, postural control, and the ability to adapt to various
sensory and motor inputs.

“ Our mission is to capture kids’ hearts for learning with horses ”
