FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What are payment options?
A:  At MTRP we do our best to work with each rider and their family to find affordable options to pay for services.  We work with several third party funding sources and we accept various grants/scholarships from other organizations.  It is best to contact us to speak specifically about your child's situation.


Q:  Do you provide services for adults?
A:  No, we are a pediatric facility, serving children ages 3-18.  


Q:  Is there a waiting list?
A:  At MTRP, we do not have a set number of weeks or sessions that the children are scheduled to ride for and so riders may stay for as little as a few months to as long as several years.  Therefore, we often have a waiting list and we cannot guarantee an opening at any specific time.  We do our best to get new riders into an opening as soon as possible.


Q:  How long does a typical session last?
A:  Children typically ride once a week for 30 minutes.  


Q:  Do I need to purchase a helmet for my child to ride?
A:  MTRP requires horseback riding helmets for all riders.  We do have several available for children to borrow during their sessions.  You are welcome to purchase your own helmet for your child as long as it is PATH International approved (must be  a horseback riding helmet).


Q:  Do you provide services year-round?  
A:  Yes, MTRP is open year-round.  We always ride in our indoor arena for safety purposes.  MTRP does close if Kenosha Public Schools are closed due to snow and any time there is a heat advisory for Kenosha County and at other times up to their discretion.
