Physical and Occupational Therapy with Horsepower

The Children's TherAplay Foundation, Inc. is the largest pediatric hippotherapy facility in the country, providing physical and occupational therapies using equine movement as a treatment tool for children with special needs such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, spina bifida, traumatic brain injury, developmental delays, and more.

Our therapists combine a sensory-rich, child-centered clinic with hippotherapy – physical or occupational therapy using the horse as a treatment tool – to provide inputs that help children reach their developmental goals. 

A child with a special need wants to learn, develop and achieve all the things their siblings and peers do. Children's TherAplay helps make their dreams of independence a reality.

As of October 28, 2021, masks are also required for all volunteers and staff, regardless of vaccinnation status, in our hippotherapy arena. As the cold weather months roll in, our arena garage doors will be closed, making our arena an indoor space.
