Mission Statement

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center strives to enhance the quality of life of people with special challenges through participation in equine assisted activities and therapeutic riding. We are a place where individuals come together and where victories -- some dramatic, some modest, but all significant -- are joyously celebrated.

Description

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center was established in 1985 and provides equine assisted activities to adults and children with a variety of physical, cognitive, and mental health challenges, including:

  • autism
  • PTSD
  • addiction
  • severe mental health challenges
  • victims of abuse
  • youth at risk
  • ADD/ADHD
  • traumatic brain injury, and more.

Also known as therapeutic riding, these goal-driven activities include riding, care of the horses, ground work, and communication with the horses. Some riders want to improve mobility, others want to increase their ability to understand the world around them. Our programs are highly individualized and our instructors adapt lessons to meet the needs of each student, ensuring a quality therapeutic program that creates trackable goals and measurable success.

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center operates under the guidelines of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International, our instructors are all PATH Intl. Certified and Rainbow is a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center.
