Project R.I.D.E. offers therapeutic recreational horseback riding instruction to over 540 riders with disabilities in the greater Sacramento area. Our safe, structured program improves physical, emotional and social functioning through interaction with specially trained equines and volunteers. Our goal is to improve physical, emotional and social functioning through participation in a highly structured and safe program. Riders’ interaction with carefully selected and trained horses improves their balance, posture, flexibility, sensory awareness and endurance in addition to increasing confidence, self-esteem, self-discipline, motivation, attention span and integration with non-disabled peers. Project R.I.D.E. Inc. is fully accredited by PATH International, (formerly NARHA) a non-profit organization founded in 1969 which is dedicated to supporting horseback riding in a safe, educational and enjoyable manner for disabled persons. PATH International offers training seminars, provides strict standards of excellence and safety, and certifies programs and instructors to teach riding to the disabled. Project R.I.D.E. is a PATH International Premier Accredited institution, with our most recent certification in September 2012. We operate in a 34,000 square foot totally enclosed equestrian center in Elk Grove as well as a 52 acre ranch in Herald, where our horses rest and enjoy pasture time.
