Our Mission

The foundation of Boots and& Saddles Therapeutic Riding center is dedicated teaching life skills to persons with physical, developmental, and cognitive needs through the use of therapeutic riding.  All students will be taught these skills in an inclusive setting where each student will strive toward meeting individual riding goals.  These goals will be reached with the support of our dedicated instructors, peers, family and volunteers.

Our Philosophy

Through the experience of working with people with disabilities, we have seen that  it can be difficult for families to pay for the expense of therapeutic riding.  Often times they will alternate with other therapies as they can afford them.  This leads to inconsistency in therapies which has mixed results.  In order to best serve our therapeutic horseback riding clients we determined that these classes will be FREE for our clients.  It is through generous donations from people like YOU that we are able to continue this tradition.

We have a saying at Boots and Saddles - "We are all in stride with one another".  Our goal is to secure rider confidence and promote new and lasting friendships.  By accomplishing these goals, the lives of our participants will be enhanced by these experiences.  At Boots and Saddles there are no disabilities - there are only different riding abilities.

Why Boots and Saddles

Boots and Saddles was started in response to a growing demand to serve our special children and adult riders in an inclusive setting.  By serving all members of the family, including siblings, by inviting the community, broadening or circle of friends, we have fostered new friendships and have created bonds with one another, sharing a common interest without barriers.  Those who cannot walk...can run on horseback!
