TOPSHAM – Flying Changes Center for Therapeutic Riding is accepting registrations for its next 10-week session.

The center is nationally accredited with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association and has provided services to special needs and at-risk children and adults since 1992.

Among the benefits are the promotion of responsibility and cooperation, building self-esteem through challenge with a success oriented experience, improving balance/coordination and enhancing social skills through the special effects of human-animal bond.

Sessions are conducted by certified therapeutic riding instructors and goals are developed in conjunction with a client’s specialist team. Lessons continue year round in the indoor arena with adjacent heated observation area.

Some scholarship is available through the Department of Mental Health therapeutic recreation funds. The center is located two miles north of Mount Ararat High School, Route 201. For more information, call 729-0168 or visit the Web at www.flyingchanges.org.
