Cloud Dancers of the Southwest
Equestrian Therapy and Recreation for the Disabled
Albuquerque, NM
http://home.ATT.NET/~C-DSW
Founded in 1982, Cloud Dancers is a non-profit, Albuquerque-based recreational
horseback-riding program for persons with disabilities. Cloud Dancers is a Member Center of the North American
Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) and employs certified riding instructors who focus on our riders'
abilities. While many of our riders have very involved physical and developmental challenges (in the past few years,
our riders have been challenged with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, hearing
impairment, multiple sclerosis, blindness, autism, and amputations), they have learned that, through riding, they
can overcome many of the barriers they experience in their everyday life. Benefits to our riders include increased
physical mobility, confidence, pride and responsibility. |
