It is the mission of Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship (formerly Cincinnati Riding for the Handicapped) to provide an opportunity for children and adults of all ages and disabilities to participate in a therapeutic horseback riding program.  It is however, our policy to refuse individuals for which riding is a contradiction due to their condition; a rider weighs more than 175 lbs.; or upon screening our physical therapist determines therapeutic riding is not in the best interest of the individual although they may be a candidate to receive Hippotherapy services (minimum age is 2); or any riders unable to sit independently.  The minimum age for our Therapeutic Riding service is age 4.  All individuals applying for enrollment must be willing to wear a riding helmet.
