Moving Beyond Boundaries

To promote the advancement of the therapeutic horsemanship industry, ManeGait regularly hosts continuing education, instructor training, and certification exams. We have also developed a training workshop to support replication of GaitWay to the Brain at therapeutic riding centers across the United States and Canada.

Training Workshops

GaitWay to the Brain Workshop

When we combine brain building and therapeutic riding, we get GaitWay to the Brain. This innovative program has been studied and found to significantly increase function in riders beyond outcomes from equine therapy alone. This workshop introduces the neuroscience behind GaitWay to the Brain, the program activities, and the tools to increase outcomes for your clients. Video demonstrations will show how it looks when it works, how it looks when it doesn’t, and how to manage and customize the protocol for your caseload.
