Bit By Bit

  

Our mission is to open up the doors for all the special needs children and adults to the wonderful world of therapeutic horseback riding!

We provide therapeutic riding and hippotherapy services to children and adults throughout Broward County. We also have many clients from Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties that are truly dedicated and come to participate in our program! 

At Bit-By-Bit we are very equipped to work with people that have various types of challenges, so lessons may move at a slow or fast pace depending on the desires of our special students. We try and accomodate all riders regardless of their physical or emotional challenge.

Our dedicated staff work morning, afternoon, evening and even WEEKEND hours to help our families gain access to the many benefits of therapeutic horseback riding.

Our riders may be challenged with:

  • Autism and related spectrum disorders 
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Traumatic Brain injury
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Neurological and Developmental Disorders
  • Speech and Language Delay
  • Apraxia and/or Sensory Integration Dysfunction
  • Balance and Coordination Disorders

  • Spina Bifida
  • Cognitive and/or Psychosocial Needs
