Special Equestrians of Georgia, Inc.offers a Therapeutic Sport Recreational Program conducted by a NARHA-certified instructor. Our program is offered for children and adults with mental, emotional and physical needs.
Founded by NARHA-certified instructor Stacey Edwards, Special Equestrians of Georgia, Inc. is a non-profit organization working with physically and mentally challenged children and adults in the Metro Atlanta area.
Today, Special Equestrians of Georgia has 3 certified instructors and serves riders of all ages who have physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities.
How does someone become a student of Special Equestrians of Georgia, Inc?
When we receive a call or request, we send out an application package that includes medical forms, release forms, and information about our program. When we get the forms back, we schedule an evaluation with our Therapeutic Director. Not everyone who is evaluated, however, is accepted into the program. Sometimes there are reasons, for the safety of the rider or our staff why we cannot accept a rider. We follow NARHA guidelines in making these decisions. Once accepted, a time for weekly lesson is chosen, if available. If we do not have an opening, the rider is placed on a waiting list until an opening becomes available.
