Freedom Ride is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives and experiences of individuals with disabilities in the Central Florida area through therapeutic horseback riding and related activities.
We provide equine-assisted therapy to utilize a multi-sensory approach to developing and facilitating cognitive skills as well as physical therapy. As a result, children and adults can become more confident in their own abilities to master and control themselves and their environment. This is done through riding classes and ground work with our equine therapists, led by a PATH certified instructor. Peace, love, Freedom Ride!
