Welcome to The New Mexico Center for Therapeutic Riding

Our center is a nonprofit therapeutic horseback riding program devoted to serving children and adults with special needs for over five years. We are a member center of NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped) and our curriculum includes all equine assisted activities and therapies--therapeutic riding, hippotherapy and equine facilitated mental health. Our therapeutic services produce tangible physical, psychological, cognitive, social and educational benefits.

Our program is located in a peaceful setting at a private stable in Santa Fe, NM. Our NARHA certified instructors design each lesson with the following goals in mind: physical development, emotional growth and intellectual stimulation. We strive to accomplish our goals in a safe, fun, family and community oriented atmosphere.

The horse is a motivator that connects therapy to sport, pleasure and education. The dynamic relationship among students, teachers, volunteers and horses strengthens our program. This community family is enhanced through summer camps, horse shows, vaulting, trail rides, birthdays and holiday parties.
