Lesson Set-Up
Madison Fields’ Therapeutic Riding (TR) is run by three amazingly talented women: Jessica Simpson (ESMHL), Programs Manager; Maggie Jackson (CTRI), Head Therapeutic Riding Instructor; and Taylor Polito (CTRI), Equestrian Assistant. The program is held to high standards set by PATH International. Abiding by these standards, the TR team comes up with their own lesson plans to implement.
