Thorncroft Therapeutic Horseback Riding, Inc.
 |
 |
The discipline of weekly scheduled lessons is the most successful method for mastering the art of horseback riding. Since our founding over three decades ago, Thorncroft has taught the balanced seat approach. We teach basic through advanced riding, as well as jumping, dressage and cross-country. Our approach has been to engage the student in the care of the horse, teaching grooming, tacking and care after the ride. With 17 instructors our skills cover the full range of equine sports. Our 70 acres of Pennsylvania countryside include an indoor arena, an outdoor arena and trails, which are employed by our instructors at their discretion. If, for whatever reason we can not meet your needs, with our long tenure in the field we can help you find something suitable. Thorncroft has long enjoyed the community resulting from our working student program. Students on the lesson schedule have the opportunity to earn lessons in exchange for their working in the barn. Those students over 13 years old can earn a lesson with 6 hours of work, bringing the values of traditional farm life to children and teenagers already motivated by a love of horseback riding..
Thorncroft is a mainstreaming facility where people with and without special needs come together to ride, learn and relate to one another. Within this accepting environment they promote growth within each other. This growth is our aim; it is the beginning of healing. Our peaceful, rural environment provides us with the necessary tools to help fulfill our ultimate goal of healing.
