What programs and lessons do you offer?

We provide therapeutic riding lessons supported by dedicated volunteers, including class assistants and a volunteer physiotherapist for assessing children ready to participate. Horse experience is an asset, but it is not required.

When do classes run and how can I check the schedule?

Lessons run during the week Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings, as well as Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Please take a look at our calendar for the schedule of lessons.

At Richmond Therapeutic Riding Association, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children with disabilities through our therapeutic riding program. Our program aims to promote physical, social, and psychological well-being for our participants. We believe in the transformative power of horses and their ability to help individuals with disabilities improve balance, strength, coordination, and self-esteem.

Therapeutic riding is a centuries-old practice that has been shown to have numerous benefits for individuals with disabilities. Through riding sessions, participants can experience a unique connection with the horse that can lead to significant personal growth. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where children and youth with disabilities can engage in therapeutic riding activities that promote physical and emotional well-being.

Richmond Therapeutic Riding Association is proud to work with our community partners and sponsors to offer our therapeutic riding program to children with disabilities in Richmond. We invite you to join us in our mission to bring joy and smiles to the children we serve. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with disabilities through the power of therapeutic riding.
