Sled Hockey is a Paralympic sport allowing individuals with physical disabilities affecting lower limbs to use sleds to move around the ice. Other than this adaptation, the rules are very similar to able-bodied hockey games. It is a high energy, rowdy and incredibly fast paced game! We offer individuals and groups a chance to give Sled Hockey a try. For more information about how you can experience the thrill of Sled Hockey, contact:

Hippotherapy takes the patient out of the traditional clinical setting and places them into a more relaxed, yet stimulating atmosphere in order to help them meet their functional goals. Patients are in a natural environment, which may help integrate their needs into everyday life experiences. Children, who are sensitive to being “different”, do not consider the riding environment to be a clinic. Please contact Abby Ferrin for information or to schedule an appointment: 435.649.3991 x617
