Meet Miss Julie
Julie has been teaching horseback riding for 40+ years, beginning her journey when she discovered her love for dressage. She spent many years learning from some of the top instructors in the sport and has passed that knowledge on to her students throughout her career.
In late 2016, Julie founded Adventures in Riding as a 501c3 non-profit to expand her reach and focus on therapeutic riding. Since starting the non-profit, she has worked with many adults and children who have experienced trauma, helping them find healing and confidence through the powerful connection between horses and humans.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower children and adults with traumatic life experiences to feel comfortable in the world they live in. The facility provides access to therapeutic riding in a safe and friendly environment. Instructors help riders, young and old, to realize the benefits of the horse-rider connection.
We are especially proud of our work with children who have been in foster care. As always, we welcome anyone who may receive benefit from equine therapy.
Why Horses?
Horses have an incredible ability to sense emotions and respond with patience and understanding. This unique quality makes them perfect partners in the healing process, helping individuals build trust, confidence, and emotional regulation in a natural, non-judgmental environment.
