Partnering Humans with Horses to Promote Well-Being 

Emerald Hollow Therapeutic Riding Center is the first PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Therapeutic Riding Center on Cape Cod. Our aim is to offer a positive experience through equine-assisted services that address each participant’s strengths and weaknesses to build opportunities that help them reach their goals. We are educators who focus on providing our participants with customized and comprehensive programs to challenge them to push beyond their perceived limits in a safe, controlled, and compassionate environment. Lessons are taught by our team of skilled, licensed PATH Intl. certified professionals and assisted by our trained volunteers. Our gentle, well-trained horses are also invaluable educators and partners.

 

We work with groups from Latham Centers, Cape Abilities, Kennedy-Donovan Center, the Hyannis Vet Center, as well as countless individuals and families across Cape Cod. Some of the disabilities we work with include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and many others. Many of the children and adults we serve, including disadvantaged young people, have learning or behavioral disabilities.

 

Our goal is to offer a positive experience that addresses each participant’s strengths and builds opportunities that enhance their goals. It is our wish to challenge participants to fulfill their goals and even exceed their expectations, both physically and mentally.
