Mission: In a fun, supportive environment, Lovelane provides high quality therapeutic horseback riding to achieve occupational, physical, speech, cognitive and other therapeutic gains, focusing on children with special needs.
Lovelane is a pediatric, therapeutic horseback riding program that has a dramatic impact on the physical and cognitive development of children with special needs. Lovelane is recognized and regularly recommended by the Boston, pediatric medical community for therapy for a wide variety of special needs diagnosis. Currently, Lovelane is open 7 days a week providing 4,500 therapeutic sessions a year with the help of 215 volunteers. Lovelane's therapeutic program includes weekly sessions with children whose primary diagnosis include developmental delays, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, genetic disorders, autism spectrum disorders, cancer, hearing and vision impairments and neurological and seizure disorders. Lovelane is committed to individual sessions for each child so that specific therapies can be analyzed and applied for progressive results. In addition to our core lesson program, which serves 104 students weekly, 36 children join us in an un-mounted therapeutic mentoring programs. Lovelane has a wait list of 355 students, demonstrating both the need for this unique therapeutic approach and the value parents and their physicians place in its outcomes.
