About
1. THERAPEUTIC RIDING THE STILLWATER PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE CONTRACTED WITH TURNING POINT FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS TO OFFER THERAPEUTIC RIDING TO SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL. NOW THEY ARE WORKING TO ADD ELEMENTARY STUDENTS TO THE PROGRAM AFTER DEMONSTRATED RESULTS. RIDERS LEARN SKILLS IN HANDLING HORSES- MOUNTED AND UNMOUNTED, BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THEY LEARN LIFE SKILLS THAT SUPPORT INDEPENDENCE IN LIVING AND WORKING SUCCESSFULLY IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THOSE SAME SKILLS CONTRIBUTE TO CLASSROOM SUCCESS. ONE STUDENT HIGHLY INVOLVED ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO BE TESTED ON IEP GOALS, BUT ON HORSEBACK, HE WAS ABLE TO SOLVE A LINEAR EQUATION, IDENTIFY GEOMETRIC SHAPES AND CATEGORIZE LIFE SCIENCE ELEMENTS USING PROPS FROM RIDING LESSONS. ANOTHER STUDENT WITH SEVERE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES THAT WERE DISTUPTING THE ENTIRE CLASSROOM, BECAME AN A STUDENT AFTER MENTORING BY AN OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER DURING RIDING SESSIONS. A STUDENT WHO WAS KNOWN FOR LACK OF FOCUS AND EVEN RUNNING AWAY, WON A GOLD MEDAL FOR RIDING A WESTERN TRAIL COURSE INDEPENDENTLY AT SPECIAL OLYMPICS. NEARLY 70% OF TURNING POINT RIDERS NOW RIDE INDEPENDENTLY. BUT ALL BENEFIT FROM VERBAL SKILLS, FOCUS, SELF-CONTROL,EMPATHY AND IMPROVED FITNESS THROUGH RIDING AND INTERACTING WITH HORSES.
