The organization provides adaptive horseback riding lessons for children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities, and offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy that uses the movement of the horse to improve medical conditions.

Its staff includes nine certified riding instructors and nine licensed therapists, with four faculty members who train and certify new instructors and therapists, and more than a hundred volunteers supporting a team of around thirty horses. The therapy program specializes in hippotherapy, always involving a licensed therapist; Ride On cites peer-reviewed research and a partnership with Central Michigan University, and it is the only nationally accredited hippotherapy program in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
