Equest Center for Therapeutic Riding serves 185+ riders with physical, mental, and social/emotional challenges between the ages of 2 and 100. We have a list of 50+ individuals waiting to participate in our programs. Equest provides a YEAR-ROUND therapeutic riding program which is so critical to individuals with disabilities in preventing regression and fostering greater physical, mental, emotional

and social improvement and benefits experienced due to a consistent riding therapy schedule throughout the year. Our program owns its own farm, complete with an outdoor riding arena, heated indoor arena, barn, classroom, restroom, and a one-of-a-kind, mile-long Saddle Safari Sensory Riding trail. Vital to our program is our dedicated crew of volunteers who donated over 55,600 hours of service in 2019 alone. Equest instructors are certified by PATH International - Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship. Because of its varied benefits, Therapeutic Riding has been recognized as a beneficial mode of therapy by the American Physical and Occupational Therapy Associations.
