Welcome to Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship (formerly Cincinnati Riding for the Handicapped). We are pleased you are interested in our program and wish to learn more about the values of therapeutic horseback riding.

Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship has been offering a therapeutic riding program for children and adults with varying types and degrees of disabilities since 1985. As a fully accredited operating center of North American Riding of the Handicapped Association, Classes are conducted by instructors thoroughly trained in horsemanship, with years of experience working with individuals with disabilities. 

All riders receive instruction in the basic skills of care of tack, grooming and tacking a horse, leading and handling, mounting and dismounting and proper safety, treatment and care around the horse. Through the assistance of our therapists and volunteers, assigned to each rider, progression is based upon each riders ability, enabling full benefit from the therapeutic program.

Fees are $35.00 a class or $180.00 for a six week series.   There will be a big savings when you pay for  the whole series rather than individual classes.

Riderships are available on basis of need.  Class size is limited to a maximum of five riders.  Riders will be charged for any missed classes unless notification of absence is received 24 hours prior to the class by calling 831-7050.

Riders should prepare for classes by wearing long pants and shoes with a heel. A riding helmet, safety belt and other adaptive equipment is provided for each rider.
We are excited about providing this opportunity and welcome any questions you
may have regarding our program.  Please do not hesitate to contact us.

** All first time riders must make a pre-enrollment visit to the stables.  Acceptance in the riding program will be based on this visit and the required forms being returned.
