Therapeutic Horsemanship
Since the 1960's Therapeutic Horsemanship in the United States has grown to serve people who face physical, developmental, emotional or psychiatric challenges. Lisa May holds a Masters Degree in Social Work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Work supervisor for a psychiatric rehabilitation program, Lisa has developed therapeutic horsemanship programs especially for people challenged by serious mental illness and also for women survivors of trauma. She is a speaker at regional and national conferences addressing horsemanship for challenged adults. Lisa is certified as an instructor by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association.

The benefits of Therapeutic Horsemanship include improved physical condition, posture, balance and mobility; increased confidence, independence, and achievement; socialization and mentoring; bonding with an animal; development of a sense of safety and trust.
