Lovelane's Mission In a fun, supportive environment, Lovelane provides high-quality therapeutic horseback riding to achieve occupational, physical, speech, cognitive and other therapeutic gains, focusing on children with special needs. Lovelane's History When Debby Sabin began providing therapeutic riding at a barn on Love Lane in Weston, she was the only instructor and she saw five students a week. That was in 1988. After receiving her Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy, she continued to provide therapeutic riding sessions and the program on Love Lane began to grow. When the program moved to accommodate more students, the name stuck and in 1992 Lovelane was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization. Lovelane currently has 13 licensed riding instructors and provides more than 4, 400 individual therapeutic riding sessions a year to children and young adults from 36 MetroWest and greater Boston communities. In September 2004, we moved into our first fully owned and operated facility our first permanent home and our first facility with an indoor riding arena!
