The Mission of Dreams Go On is to provide therapeutic horseback riding to adults and children of Blair County, PA who are physically challenged, receive mental / behavioral health or family therapy services.
Certified instructors and dedicated volunteers teach responsibility, trust, rules, patience, compassion, self-confidence, teamwork, and safety. To a child or adult with a physical, developmental or emotional challenge, life can look a lot brighter on horseback. The power and warmth of the horse strengthens and tones muscles, improves balance, head control and coordination, builds self-esteem, and offers a sense of freedom and equality.
