Animal Assisted Programs
Animal Assisted Programming at Rising Light Ridge will utilize both equine and canine programs geared to enhance the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional well-being of our participants. Our vision is to become a fully accessible animal assisted programming center that fosters independence, confidence, and personal growth through relationship building. While the canine program is still in developement, the Equine Center is OPEN and warmly welcomes you!
Rising Light Ridge Equine Center
PARTNERING HORSES & HUMANS FOR HOPE, HEALING, AND RESTORATION.
Welcome to the Rising Light Ridge (RLR) Equine Center at Harveys Lake, PA! The center is just one of the many tangible expressions of the ministry of the Tim Tebow Foundation. God created an inherently relational animal in the horse which provides the opportunity for special bonds to be formed between horse and human whether grooming, engaging in groundwork, or riding. Learning horsemanship skills increases confidence and enhances self-esteem that translates to other areas of life. The gait of a horse naturally mimics the gait of a human, providing beneficial sensory input to riders. The bonds created between horses and humans provide insight as horses mirror emotions in a non-judgmental manner.
