Dream Riders

To provide an opportunity for people with special needs to benefit from equine assisted activities in a safe environment.

Dream Riders is a Premier Accredited Center of PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) designed to use equine assisted activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of people with special needs. Through certified instructors, trained volunteers and specially trained horses Dream Riders opens the doors for the development of hidden potential in the riders who become involved in the program. The riders are challenged in many ways to succeed while having a wonderful time working toward their individual goals. Dream Riders operates year-round offering weekly therapeutic horseback riding lessons to people with special needs, Special Olympics competition opportunities, para-dressage for para-athletes, equine services for foster children and is an approved PATH Intl. center for the Wounded Warrior Project. We incorporate natural horsemanship and horse/human relationship building lessons for interested participants and volunteers who would like to enhance their horsemanship skills. Dream Riders offers over 1,000 hours of equine assisted activities throughout the year.

Testimonials

"My riding journey with you all has helped me keep my balance and strength strong. As well as keeping me going through my hard teenage years in high school. Having Dream Riders makes me a better person and feel confident in myself. Dream Riders makes me feel safe, loved and cared for. I am so blessed to have you all there for me including Malchi, Dash and Honey. I love staying after to groom the horses and give them hugs as well as treats. Thank you so much for your support, care, love and blessed lessons."
