Rocking Horse Rehab offers Speech/Physical/Occupational and Mental Health therapies with our horses for children and adults with special needs.
Our services are open to public and to private/public schools for the disabled. Rocking Horse Rehab was established in September 2001 and was located at the Essex Equestrian Center in West Orange until our recent move to the beautiful Lord Stirling Stables in Basking Ridge, NJ which sits on 500+ acres of beautiful pastures and scenic trails. An indoor riding arena allows us to offer services year

One of our Adaptive Riding clients working on her 2-point with therapy horse Dorito!
Adaptive Riding clients learn riding skills modified to suit their individual needs. This particular client loves riding in 2-point, so a portion of every session is dedicated to letting her work on that skill. 🐴

Did you see our announcement about Horse Powered Reading® and ask how does a horse help my child read?

During Horse Powered Reading® students engage with obstacle courses, hula hoops, rubber ducks, and of course, our equine partners!
