Hillrise Deemed Essential by NYS ESD
(April 2020)
Valued Hillrise Equestrian Center Inc. Clients,
Hillrise has heard of many parents’ struggles with being able to maintain our student’s anxiety, depression and other mental health and physical challenges that have been exasperated by the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation. These feelings are heightened by not having access to the calming, therapeutic outlet that our specially trained horses can provide. In response to this Hillrise Equestrian Center Inc. made a request to New York State Department of Economic Development d/b/a Empire State Development related to COVID 19, for designation as an essential business for purposes of Executive Order 202.6.
As of April 20, 2020 the E.S.D. has given Hillrise Equestrian Center Inc. the designation as an “Essential Business” based on the therapeutic nature of the Horsemanship Services provided. This is due to my PATH Int. Certification as a Mental Health Professional.
In result of this Hillrise Equestrian Center Inc. will be resuming a restructured schedule to be consistent with the CDC COVID-19 Guidelines. If your child has been impacted please let me know about any individual concerns you have so that I can adjust your child’s plan ahead of time to meet their needs.
A set of Hillrise General Guidelines will be posted soon and will need to be maintained to make sure all students, parents and Hillrise staff are kept safe. As you know social distancing is very easy to maintain at our facility but, we may need to adjust scheduled times for now.
Please contact me by text, email or phone as soon as possible for scheduling, we can start as early as Thursday 4/23/2020.
Physical connection with our horses and the outdoors have a way of healing and making us feel better.
I look forward to seeing you again.

Lily Giving Back
(October 2018)

Lily is quickly becoming a barn favorite, after being adopted from Lollypop farm earlier this year. Recently Bridges for Brain Injury started a session with Hillrise Equestrian Center, Lily is now giving back to the community right along with us! Below is the link to the Times of Wayne County, they did a wonderful story featuring Lily and how we integrate adaptive riding into our programs.
It’s been 40 years since I’ve ridden a horse. It helps me remember my childhood. I’m so thankful for the experience. Grooming them helps me to relax. |
Success in KY!

A year ago we welcomed Izzy (Ecoach) to the Hillrise clan and started the Retired Racehorse Program. With official training starting in December Izzy was given 10 months to train in a new discipline. Izzy placed 17 out of 135 riders in the Hunter Division in October of this year. We are so incredibly proud of the accomplishments that Izzy has made in the last year. Most importantly we would like to congratulate Izzy on their FOREVER HOMES with us!
Izzy was the best shes has ever been in a show ring it was incredible! This Retired Racehorse Project has been an amazing experience. |
We are so excited to welcome these little ones to the Hillrise family. Thank you to Cornell Equine Park for the opportunity to have such special, well bred foals. We just can’t wait to see what these two can do!
