The Unicorn Center, Inc. offers several fun and therapeutic options that are
appropriate for a wide range of disabilities and diagnoses. The elderly, traditional school students, at-risk youth, and adolescents all can benefit from these programs.
Participants in the Unicorn Center, Inc. activities must have a formal diagnosis, or be designated as at-risk. We require that all participants be over four years of age, and have the ability to follow two-part directives, such as “go to the barn and get the carrots.” The registration process involves three steps: registration, screening and orientation. After receiving the participant’s medical and information forms, a participant screening occurs, to ensure that The Center is a good placement. After approval, the participant is then assigned a riding time, and attends orientation. We look forward to serving those with special needs!

Therapeutic Riding-Private and group lessons available, depending upon skill level. Our goal is to ultimately place all students in a group-lesson atmosphere, so that the participants can develop peer groups and friendships at the farm. Our Center offers a skill-based instructional program, in which students learn progressive skills, ultimately obtaining the goal of independence in the saddle.

Mobile Outreach Unit
The Center’s mobile outreach unit visits schools, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and other facilities off the farm. This allows individuals who would otherwise be unable to enjoy our loving animals to visit with the creatures. Visits normally last 1 to 2 hours. For schools interested in educational opportunities for their students, a program that expands knowledge, and is fun, is also available.
