The Salt Spring Therapeutic Riding Association offers riding sessions all year round. Our classes are taught by therapeutic riding and private riding instructors, and our riders are assisted by trained volunteers, as horse leaders and/or side walkers.
At Salt Spring Therapeutic Riding, our students benefit from social interaction with instructors, and volunteers. Decision-making, speech, and communication skills are developed throughout each lesson. All aspects of the program are designed to enhance our students' over-all well being. Our horses are selected for their patience and quiet temperaments.
Programs are developed on an individual, as needed basis, taking into account each person's strengths and requirements. To participate, please visit the Contact Us page.
We are always looking for volunteers to assist with the riding lessons, stable management, barn chores, administrative duties fund raising and more.
Love of horses is optional, unless you are side walking or leading.
As little as one hour a week!
