Other activities include Carriage Driving for students who cannot sit astride a horse, Drill Team for advanced students to perform choreographed patterns on horseback, and EquiClub to encourage socialization and creativity through equine-related activities.

Provides programs where horses are utilized as a tool for emotional growth and learning; participants learn by engaging in activities with the horse; the technique is used for mental health issues and other issues that involve substance abuse and dependency, Attention Deficit Disorder, eating disorders, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
Horses move four dimensionally - up and down, side to side, back and forth and through space - all simultaneously. These planes of movement are transferred up from the horse's pelvis to the rider's pelvis and core system. Strengthening these core muscles provide stability in balance, improves breathability, ambulation and digestion.
