For many years, AWAMO has sponsored riding programs that provide therapeutic benefits for people with disabilities, including those recovering from service injuries.

• Benefits of Horse Riding:
  • Stress reduction
  • Improved core strength and balance
  • Enhanced coordination
  • Assistance for ADF personnel and emergency service members with lower body injuries
  • Support for veterans dealing with PTSD

In 2014, AWAMO funded several veterans’ participation in riding programs and also supported the training of certified instructors through TAFE, expanding access for wounded service members.
