HELPING OTHERS HOPE HAVEN THERAPEUTIC

“Today is 780+ days since Alexandra Richardson’s last chemotherapy treatment. Our daughter has spent the last 2+ years dealing with the side-effects from her cancer-treatments and learning to do things from “baby-steps” all over again. Lots of her post-chemo rehab was cancelled or delayed by COVID-19... but the folks at Hope Haven Therapeutic Riding Centre have been able to help her regain so much self-confidence via their recreational, occupational & physical therapy programs. After many months of “baby-steps” TODAY is the first day she has been able to ride outside of the ring.” - Proud father, Mark Richardson Located at the top of the Beaver Valley, Hope Haven Therapeutic Riding Centre empowers individuals of all ages with (dis)abilities or unique needs by building self-esteem, confidence and lifetime skills through equestrian sport, recreation, and therapeutic programs. Our Hope Haven team consists of specially trained human 18

and equine professionals and a robust, dedicated community of volunteers. Together we harness the power of adaptive techniques, equipment, and teaching methods to enable individuals with (dis) abilities or unique needs to explore the world of equestrian, including Ontario’s first Special Olympics equestrian team.
