Project RIDE

Organization Description

Since 1979, Project R.I.D.E. has provided therapeutic horseback riding to students with special needs. Our program is dedicated to the improvement of a rider's physical, mental, social and emotional well-being through interaction with specially trained horses and ponies. There is a magic that occurs between horse and rider, forming a very strong bond, especially when the rider is in any way limited.
