The Saddle Light Center For Therapeutic Horsemanship The Saddle Light Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation located in Selma, TX at Retama Equestrian Center.

We help to build the self-esteem and quality of life for special needs individuals within Bexar County and surrounding areas through equine-assisted activities. As a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (P.A.T.H.) organization, we provide therapeutic horseback riding and hippotherapy to individuals with special needs within the San Antonio area with the goal of contributing positively to their cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being as to inspire them to accomplish things previously considered beyond their capabilities. Since our founding in 1991, through the generosity of our Sponsors and Volunteer workforce, we have grown from a few horses to a program that now provides equine therapy to 60 plus riders each week with a team of 13 horses. Through this program, the Saddle Light Center is committed to improving the self-esteem and quality of life of the disabled population in the San Antonio area. Our mission is to provide equestrian therapy for children, teenagers, and adults with neurological, orthopedic, learning, emotional or other disabilities. Our goal is to inspire our riders to accomplishments previously considered beyond their capabilities.

🍂🐴 FALL NEWSLETTER HIGHLIGHT | A Special Thank You to JHOT! 🐮

We want to give another BIG thank you to the Junior Hereford Organization of Texas (JHOT) for choosing The Saddle Light Center as the organization they supported during this year's Junior State Hereford Show!

JHOT is made up of more than 300 young people from across Texas who raise and exhibit Hereford cattle. Each year, the student directors select an organization to support through donations from their members.

This year's selection had a very special connection to our Saddle Light family! 💙

Elizabeth, a member of our Saddle Light family, regularly attends the Junior State Hereford Show to cheer on her brothers as they exhibit their cattle. Her oldest brother, Mason, served as co-president of JHOT last year and suggested The Saddle Light Center as the organization to benefit.

The student directors thought it was a wonderful opportunity to support an organization that means so much to Elizabeth and many others.

🐴💙 Thank you, Mason, JHOT, and all the young people who helped make this generous contribution possible!

🐴🐰🥚 Silly Friday: Somebunny Has Been Busy! 💙

Remember when Schooner dressed up as the Easter Bunny? 🐰🐴 We had so much fun joking that he might even be able to lay Easter eggs!

Well, guess what? Something funny happened in Schooner's stall! 😂

We found a real EGG! 🥚

Could it be? Did Schooner really learn how to lay eggs? 🤔🐴

Not quite! It looks like a little feathered friend decided Schooner's stall was the perfect place to leave an egg! 🐔💕

Maybe our sweet retired boy has a new job… helping the chickens with their egg deliveries! 😂

Schooner always finds a way to make us smile, even in retirement! 💙🐴

Happy Silly Friday from The Saddle Light Center!
