MAPLE PARK – Fox Chase Farm was alive with activity on a recent Friday. In one area, a young rider was preparing a horse for the evening’s activities. On the indoor track, youths on horses were engaged in lessons, with volunteers leading the horses around.

Most lessons featured the student, the horse, a leader and two side-walkers, and the horse would walk around an area of the track. In some stations, the horse would stop, and the student would take part in activities. Two lessons could take place at the same time.

It was a typically busy night for HorsePower Therapeutic Riding, a nearly year-old organization with a mission “to provide creative, inspiring and challenging therapeutic horseback riding lessons to children and adults with disabilities.”
