Many children with special needs and a range of disabilities benefit enormously from equine related therapy. Horse riding helps develop coordination, balance and muscle tone. Contact and interaction with a horse has a calming effect and children love the sensory experience of the horse's movement. Balcultry Stables specialise in "Riding for the Disabled" and can provide private or group lessons for riders with special needs. Facilities include an indoor and outdoor arena.
