Adaptive riding sessions available!

Our adaptive riding program consists of 30 minutes of riding and 30 minutes of grooming/groundwork. The groundwork portion includes grooming, tacking up, bathing (in the summer!), as well as learning to hand walk and other horse care practices. Adaptive riding sessions are tailored to meet your specific goals. Riding improves balance, coordination, and strength all while building the riders confidence.

RHR is Celebrating our 19th Year!

Since 2001, Rocking Horse Rehab has offered equine assisted therapies within the Essex Equestrian Center in West Orange, NJ. Our programs include Hippotherapy with speech, physical and occupational therapists as well as traditional therapy in a therapeutic gym within our center. Equine facilitated mental health programs are offered with a licensed clinical social worker. Music, dance, and yoga programs are offered in combination with equine assisted therapies. Parent and professional wellness workshops and summer programs are custom designed to meet the needs of individuals and groups. Group equine experiential activities are available for schools, day programs, and any other organization wishing to come to the farm for a field trip or ongoing weekly services. Therapeutic riding is offered on an individual basis for children and adults of all ages.

Rocking Horse Rehab is open 6 days per week and operates all year long as we have a heated indoor Olympic size arena with a reception for parents and staff overlooking the arena.

Insurance is accepted for some services and we accept DDD funding.

Call us to schedule a visit or for more information about our programs.
