All students are required to obtain their physician's approval before participating. Those wishing to participate through their schools will return completed forms to their point of contact. All others will return directly to us by either arranging to drop off or mail in their forms. The CANTER team will then review to see if the candidate meets qualification requirements. If so, student candidates are then evaluated in person by our instructional team to see if placement into the program is appropriate.
Our programs consist of both mounted and unmounted lessons and students may be a better fit for one than the other, at least initially. Please note that we adhere to weight limits for those doing mounted lessons on our horses. This is dependent on the equine partners servicing the program at that time. But we firmly believe that the interaction with a horse during an unmounted lesson can be equally beneficial and enjoyable as mounted lessons and often more appropriate for certain candidates.
