Description
Jamestown New Horizons, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1985, provides therapeutic/recreational horseback riding experiences for people with disabilities in the St. Louis metropolitan area. JNH has been accredited by NARHA (the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association) and is a member of NAHA (the North American Horsemens' Association).
Our mission: The mission of Jamestown New Horizons is to promote the health and quality of life for people with disabilities through equine-assited therapy.
What are the benefits? Jamestown New Horizons' program of equine-assisted therapy takes disabled riders through a complex series of movements which consciously and unconsciously use all of the body's muscles. It is a program that exercises and strengthens weak muscles, relaxes and stretches spastic ones, assists in the development of coordination and balance, calms emotions and tremendously boosts the morale of children and adults.
