R.O.C.K.: A Different Kind of Therapy

By: Cheney Slocum, Celina Fontenot, and Alexis Chastain

R.O.C.K., otherwise known as the Ride On Center for Kids, is located in Georgetown, Texas. Established in 1998, the organization focuses on helping those that live with disabilities through unique types of therapy. These methods include hippotherapy and therapeutic riding. While the students gain physical benefits, such as strength and balance, their relationship with the horse provides emotional development and cognitive progress.
