Freedom Ride, Inc Freedom Ride. . .Horsepower for the Spirit! The movement of a horse is a rhythmic side-to-side, forward and backward action that is similar to a human walking.

As participants sit atop a horse, their pelvic area, trunk and upper body move in motion to the horse. This stimulation gently relaxes taut muscles and thereby increases range of motion for the rider. The movement of the trunk encourages riders to work harder to balance their upper bodies, and routine activities develop hand-eye coordination. Learning new routines, sequencing and accessing short-term memory skills assist individuals who otherwise may experience difficulty with these tasks. Just as important, being able to participate in an activity like their siblings and able-bodied friends increases self-esteem and confidence. With a team of loyal horses, PATH Certified Instructors, and Trained Volunteers, Freedom Ride provides therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with many types of disabilities....cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, autism, developmental delay, attention deficit disorder, deafness, blindness and many emotional and learning disabilities.

A heartfelt thank-you to all our wonderful volunteers! 💐

We had a fantastic time at Sunday’s Volunteer Appreciation Event. The gathering was well attended, the weather was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the company was even better. We also enjoyed an entertaining demonstration of natural horsemanship thanks to Rob Reich!

We hope everyone had a wonderful time and went home with a bouquet of flowers, compliments of the Orange County Convention Center. Thank you for all you do—we couldn’t do it without you! 🧡
