S The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 30,1989 Handicapped Benefit from Riding Program by Andrea Adair Have you ever thought about what it would be like to view the world from a wheelchair? Thanks to Hoskin Stables and the Durham Region Horseback Riding for the Handicapped Association, for the past 11 years children children in this position get a chance to see the world from a different perspective. Horseback Riding for the Handicapped is an organization organization that formed when a group of parents wanted to offer some form of recreational recreational activity to their children children -- kids who otherwise found their recreational opportunities opportunities limited. From March to December, December, for 30 minutes each Wednesday, roughly 15 children children are given riding lessons lessons at Hoskin Stables. The stables are owned and operated operated by Terry and Shirley Cane. Terry Goulet, president of the association, said the children in the program may have a variety of disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy and spina bifida to Down's syndrome and blindness. Children who horseback ride at the stables benefit physically, psychologically and socially from the exercise. exercise. Physically, the child enjoys enjoys the benefits of improved co-ordination, balance, mobility mobility and the relaxation of spastic muscles. When the children ride, Mrs. Goulet explained, there are exercises they do. The program each performs, of course, depends on the needs of the individual. Some children may be told to reach for toys, stand up in the saddle or ride backwards on the horse, to either tighten muscles or improve improve balance. Her own daughter, Jennifer, Jennifer, who has been riding at Hoskin since 1985, is cur- The Durham Region Horseback Riding for the Handicapped Association is a non-profit organization that uses horses as a means of recreation and therapy for disabled children and teens. They rely on the help of volunteers to walk with and lead the horses around the arena, Pictured in the photo above are, from left: Karen Pell, Jennifer Goulet, Jennifer Heathcote, Laura Laura Gilbank and Angela Doucet (front). rently working on tightening her stomach muscles. This can happen just by being on the horse because your body moves when the horse moves, "The movement of the horse makes you automatically automatically improve muscles," Mrs. Goulet continued. To help Jennifer with balance, balance, volunteers (essential to the existence of the program) program) walk around the arena arena with Jennifer, leading her horse into tight circles and figure eights. The children taking part in the program feel a tremendous tremendous sense of achievement achievement after a ride. As Mrs. Goulet said, they are doing something many other children without disabilities disabilities aren't able to do. "And they really enjoy it." Socially, they are able to interact with non-disabled people and particpate in the mainstream of life which helps to build a positive self- image. "It's a good program and so is- the therapy the children children get," Mrs. Goulet said. Perhaps the best part of the program is that whatever whatever disability these children have, they seem to forget all about it the moment they mount the horse. For half an hour each week, some of these children get to spend their time seeing the world from above instead of looking looking up at it. To keep the program operating operating year after year, the association annually holds a rideathon to help raise money. money. Last year 43 riders helped raise $8,700 for the organization. The money raised helps to cover the cost of some specialized saddles, riding lessons and insurance for the riders. If you own a horse and are interested in helping maintain The Durham Region Region Horseback Riding for the Handicapped, the ride is on a 25 km trail at Hoskin Stables and will be held on September 16.
