The Therapeutic Riding Center of Huntington Beach is a nonprofit organization in Huntington Beach, California that provides equine-assisted activities and therapies for individuals with physical and developmental challenges. Founded in 1990 by community volunteers, the center aims to help participants gain self-confidence, self-reliance, and physical benefits through interactions with horses, within the broader field of therapeutic horsemanship. Serving children and adults across Huntington Beach and the greater Orange and Los Angeles Counties, it addresses a range of disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and developmental delays, among others. The organization operates within the individual and family services industry and is a member of PATH International, reflecting its adherence to established standards in therapeutic equestrian programs. A recent development includes the center receiving a $200,000 grant to support its equine-assisted psychotherapy and learning programs, underscoring ongoing program advancement in the field.
