Manawale'a Riding Center

If you are looking for a place that does horse therapy for your child with special needs, this is the place to go. It is run with volunteers which keeps the cost down. Patti is i charge of this place and she is so ice and welcoming. We got to observe a young girl having her therapy and the volunteers and workers are so friendly and patient. I will do a follow-up review after we do a lesson or two.

Took my 2 year old here on a play group field trip. It was amazing! They got the kids familiar with the horses and what it would be like to ride before the kids got on the horses. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. They work primarily with special needs children and have special equipment to help them ride. They also had the kids take the horses on an obstacle course and a few times around the arena. For every child rider they would have 3 adults to guide the horse and spot the child. I felt very safe letting my 2 year old ride. Plus all the staff are volunteers, they purely work there out of their love of horses and children!
