Our Misson
Serendipity Therapeutic Riding Center strives to positively impact the life skills and quality of life for individuals with special needs through therapeutic horseback riding activities and farm based education conducted in a safe and supportive environment.
What is Therapeutic Riding?
Horseback riding offers a unique experience for any individual. The movements that one experiences while on a horse encourage balance, flexibility, and strength development. In addition to the physical benefits, being with horses provides social and outdoor recreational opportunities that help develop social and emotional skills.
Staff and Volunteers
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, we rely on our volunteers to get most of the grunt work done around the farm as well as help with riding lessons and animal care. We have a lot of trained, dedicated volunteers who come on a weekly basis to take care of our clients and horses but we could always use more!
