Karry Bengtson-Brothers is one of the fortunate ones who grew up around horses. Her first pony was a little bay ranch horse who taught her many things, including the value of earning a horse's trust, and to never turn your back with a carrot in your pocket. She was blessed to learn horsemanship under Maureen Pach, of East Haddam, CT, even being granted the honor of riding Maureen's personal horse, "Big Boy."
After Earning her Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Master's Degree in Advertising Karry embarked on a college teaching career but found that she always came back to horses. With her purchase of Houdini, a probable Cleveland Bay Sporthorse, from Cathy Drumm, she decided to focus on building her dream.

Therapeutic Riding
Report
Emerald Glen's therapeutic riding and horsemanship lessons are designed for the purpose of contributing positively to the well-being of individuals with special needs. For people with physical challenges, the rhythmic, multidimensional motion of a horse can be very therapeutic. Riders often show improvement in flexibility, balance, posture, breathing, and strength.
Testimonials

We came to Janet for therapeutic riding lessons in the Spring of 2015. Our granddaughter had very severe behavioral issues, that were later diagnosed as ADHD, reactive attachment disorder, sensory processing disorder, etc. We noticed an immediate improvement in Danielle's behaviour and sensory integration.
