Beyond Wishes Riding Program

Beyond Wishes is a therapeutic horse-riding program founded eight years ago by Toni McQuaig and family. Launched with an initial $375 grant from the Hinton Area Foundation, Beyond Wishes Therapeutic Riding Program works with individuals who have disabilities or special needs. Students range across the full Autism spectrum from Asperger’s (high-functioning) to severe. The motion of horses is a big part of the therapy. The family decides if the student would benefit from a smooth, quiet horse or could tolerate a bouncier gait. Sometimes students will ride bareback, or without a saddle, to increase the motion for sensory stimulation, always with a human horse leader and one or two sidewalkers for safety. Each session includes a scheduled lesson that lasts 30 minutes to 3 hours. Support of Beyond Wishes on Give2WV Day: Hinton Area will expand their impact with providing valuable therapeutic services to many area students.
