Riding with Disabilities & Equine Therapy

Getting creative with our horsemanship

About Equine Therapy

At the heart of our program is a deep commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where individuals of all abilities can experience the healing connection between horse and rider. Therapeutic riding and equine-assisted services offer meaningful physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits, helping participants build confidence, strength, communication skills, and independence. Behind every session is a foundation of extensive training and dedication—becoming certified in equine therapy requires months to years of education, hands-on experience, and ongoing professional development to ensure the highest standards of care for both horse and rider. We are proud to provide a welcoming environment where progress is celebrated at every level, and where the unique bond between humans and horses creates life-changing opportunities.

Our Certification

At Lucky Stables, our program is thoughtfully guided by the training and certification of Katie Brucks through Human–Equine Alliances for Learning (HEAL). Katie has successfully completed the HEAL Keys to Connection Training and earned her HEAL Bronze Level Certificate of Completion in June 2025. This specialized certification focuses on building meaningful, trust-based relationships between horses and humans, emphasizing emotional awareness, communication, and connection. Katie brings this knowledge into every interaction at Lucky Stables, creating a supportive, welcoming environment for riders of all abilities. Her approach is especially impactful for individuals participating in equine-assisted learning and therapeutic experiences, where patience, understanding, and connection are key. At Lucky Stables, we are committed to providing a safe, compassionate space where both horses and humans can grow, learn, and thrive together.

“Katie Brucks is outstanding with children and adults with learning disabilities. My adult son has autism. Over the past 18 months Katie's work has transformed him with regard to his relationship with horses and riding skills. Her method is top notch!"
