Hunkapi’s therapeutic riding sessions differ from our riding lessons by having a therapeutic goal as the primary focus. For example, improved attention or decreased anger. Hunkapi uses the horses in a myriad of safe activities to encourage change and achieve goals. While the sessions often involve riding, acquiring riding skill is not the focus of the session.
