Recreational
There
are numerous recreational activities for residents. Karate
and yoga classes are available throughout the week. Jogging,
walking trails and swimming are available on campus or at
the nearby ranch. Hiking, bike riding and other activities
like skateboarding are part of the resident's day. Numerous
other sports related activities are available in town and
can be worked into a resident's schedule.
Equestrian
Gatehouses'
Equestrian offering is an integral part of the curriculum
and is available to all residents. Residents come to us with
varying levels of skill and interest and the response is a
comprehensive equestrian offering ranging from basic Western
style riding to involvement in thoroughbred racing. We are
one of the few facilities that has sported a polo team at
one time. First-time riders are taught the basics of grooming
and care, while those more experienced will be handed the
opportunity to be critically involved in the development of
a thoroughbred racehorse.
The
involvement of horses at Gatehouse is just another way that
excellence is brought to the residents and they have a chance
to be engaged in the pursuit of an activity that can bring
a sense of joy to their lives.
