American Therapeutic Riding Center

Our mission is to provide opportunities to people with varying ability levels and physical disabilities to challenge themselves cognitively, emotionally and physically by setting goals to improve quality of life through Equine Assisted Services.

We provide Equine Assisted Services (EAS) to individuals with special needs. A legal diagnosis is required and a referral by a counselor, medical professional, social worker and/or therapist. We provide opportunities to individual family members and or small groups (agencies, educational systems, etc.).

Accomplishments:

07-07-2021: We received a $25,000 grant from the "Christopher and Dana Reeves" Direct Effect of Quality of Life Program.

05-31-2023: We completed a twelve month pilot project "Trauma Informed Small Groups" with the State Department of Education Climate Control.

Volunteers have the opportunity to enjoy country life while helping others through Equine Assisted Services. Give back to our community, obtain a corporate volunteer day or needed educational hours (including higher education: observation, field site opportunity, internships, research, etc.) or simply giving your time and talents to help others.
