In collaboration with Briggs Stable, we are planning to offer a restricted Therapeutic Riding Program this year with COVID guidelines restrictions. This particular summer, for the safety or your child and due to COVID-19 minimum requirements for health guidelines for our recreational programs and staffing configurations, we will need to set special parameters for participants below. We will return to our original parameters once COVID restrictions are lifted.
Therapeutic Riding has many benefits for children with special needs including physical, sensory, emotional, cognitive and social. This program will introduce the child to all aspects of the riding experience including: becoming familiar with the farm setting, the animals, the equipment and the aspects of riding.
Students will be 1-1 with Heidi Branca, instructor. There are no volunteers this year due to Covid 19 restrictions. All riders are required to wear long pants and closed toed shoes. Students must have their own helmets and wear gloves. Students need to be able to independently sit (with balance) in the saddle and be independent with their ability to control their horse. Students will mount and dismount with minimum support from Heidi. Only one family member may accompany the student. Social distancing is encouraged. Please call Heidi if you have any questions about your student's ability to participate: 508-245-9821.
½ hour lessons will be scheduled the weeks of July 13 through July 30 Monday-Thursday. No lessons on Fridays. Times and days will be flexible, based on instructor and student availability. A student can ride 4 or 6 times over 3 weeks.
Registration Fee:
6 sessions total: $150
4 sessions total $100

PLEASE NOTE: There is a glitch in the constant contact system where some registrations get reset to blank before proceeding to Paypal. The company is aware of the issue and working on it. Please try again immediately and it should go through. If it does not, email corsefoundation@comcast.net and we will register you.
If you are registering more than one child, you will need to register under 2 different email addresses. We apologize for this inconvenience, but it is a requirement of this particular software.
PLEASE REMEMBER: To keep our programs as affordable as possible, CORSE supplements programming costs and is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Thus, our administrative overhead is only 4.9%. In order to continue our beneficial programs, please consider a donation to CORSE. ALL donations are greatly appreciated!
The CORSE Foundation (Community of Resources for Special Education) was established by a group of dedicated parents and educators to raise funds to provide high quality and affordable programming, training and resources that will benefit children with special needs (ages 3-22), their families and educators throughout South Shore Massachusetts. CORSE has designed an innovative model within a blended framework of integrated and specialized social, academic, recreation, therapeutic and work-skills development programs so children with special needs can reach their full potential. Our variety of programs are staffed appropriately through customized staffing ratios and special education expertise so ALL children, those with and without special needs, can successfully participate together within their community.
For 2019-20, these programs have been generously supported by grant funding received from the Grace E. Brooks Trust, Evan Henry Foundation, Edwin Phillips Foundation, South Shore Playhouse Associates, Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation as well as our community fundraising supporters.
