Cowboy Up Therapies

Cowboy Up Therapies OT & Speech therapy practice offering hippotherapy and animal assisted therapy integrated into individualized treatment plans. Why the Horse?

We also offer RIDING LESSONS 🐎, “pony ride” style riding for young riders, camps, birthday parties and events! Hippotherapy refers to the incorporation of equine movement by physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech language pathology professionals in treatment. These professionals use evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful manipulation of equine movement to engag

e the sensorimotor and neuromotor systems to create functional change in their patient. Used with other neuromotor and sensorimotor techniques, hippotherapy is part of a patient’s integrated plan of care. The horse’s walk provides sensory input through movement, which is variable, rhythmic, and repetitive. The resultant movement responses in the patient are similar to human movement patterns of the pelvis while walking. The variability of the horse’s gait enables the therapist to grade the degree of sensory input to the patient, and then utilize this movement in combination with other treatment strategies to achieve desired results. Patients respond enthusiastically to this enjoyable experience in a natural setting. For more information on hippo therapy, please visit www.americanhippotherapyassociation.org

Join us to wish our special riding instructor, Morgan a happy trails in her next adventure!

Some people teach riding
 and some people become part of the heart of the barn.

Morgan, you’ve been so much more than an instructor—you’ve been the laughter echoing through the barn, the creativity behind every decorated horse, and the steady, patient presence for both riders and horses.

Your commitment, laughter, and ability to make even the toughest days feel lighter have meant the world to all of us. You didn’t just teach lessons—you built confidence, relationships, and memories we won’t forget.

We’re going to miss you more than the horses will admit (but don’t worry, we’ll catch them staring down the driveway 😉).

Wishing you happy trails, new adventures, and plenty of laughter wherever you go. Once part of the barn family, always part of the barn family.

Go chase your next adventure—we’re cheering you on every step of the way
. Until you return.

—Your Cowboy Up Crew

I think we are going to make it!!! These last few days have been brutal. Anyone who knows me knows I passionately hate the cold. But when you have 11 horses in your care (or any livestock), you have to be in the thick of it with them. People ask how horses survive in the wild without the care we give them as humans (coats, de-icing water tanks, hay around the clock) and I don’t know. I do know the hard keepers, specifically the older horses, probably wouldn’t do well. And I can’t stand the thought of them being uncomfortable. They WILL shiver without their blanket. The risk of colic is higher without drinking enough water. Frozen water reduces their water intake.
So regardless if they *could* survive without me going out there 3 times a day, breaking ice, fixing blankets that have managed to go caddywhompus, putting out LOTS of fresh hay, feeding with extra salt to encourage drinking, trying to fix the de-icer, and all the other things that come with frozen everything, I treat them like toddlers because they act like toddlers. And I love them dearly.

This is why you don’t hear me complaining about the summer heat.

These guys/girls need extra TLC. It took me an hour to get to the barn due to car frozen shut and 4 frozen gates/latches.

The horses are so cold!! 😭
