| Summary |
"Riding with thisABILITIES” is a story about disabled children empowered through therapeutic horse riding that was shot at the historic Claremont Riding Academy in NYC before it closed. In the film we learn what therapeutic horse riding is and how it benefits the children, especially Josue, an eleven year-old with cerebral palsy and Zack, a six year-old autistic child. We meet them as young adults and see how they’ve done. Most programs are privately funded. In spite all the benefits, after their graduation, the stable is sold and the program ends. In a postscript, there is a plea for society to spend more money on therapeutic horse riding, and programs like it, so that everyone has a chance to "Ride with theirABILITY." |
