Equest Center for Therapeutic Riding has had the distinct pleasure of serving physically, mentally, and socially/emotionally challenged individuals for almost 30 years and the honor of witnessing many miraculous moments through our unique equine-based therapy that integrates academic, social and physical skills, using the horse as a catalyst.
To individuals with disabilities, horseback riding takes them into a new, unexplored world, which provides a sense of independence and freedom that defies their disabilities. They are given an opportunity to escape their braces, crutches, wheelchairs and disabilities, replacing them with the gentle gait of a well-trained horse.
Equest Center for Therapeutic Riding is acutely aware of the many medical bills and financial hardships our families experience on a regular basis. We’ve worked tirelessly to keep our riding costs down and have made a firm commitment to never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay for services.
