Therapeutic Riding, Incorporated is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that provides therapeutic and recreational horseback riding to youths and adults with disabilities in Washtenaw County. The program supports personal growth by developing physical, cognitive, and emotional capabilities, while also aiming to build self-esteem through structured riding activities. Services are offered six days a week year-round in private, semi-private, and small group formats, with instructors and therapists certified by PATH, Intl., and supported by more than a hundred volunteers each week. The organization, founded in 1984, operates from a purpose-built facility designed to meet therapeutic riding needs and emphasizes accessibility by offering lessons at minimal fees and waiving them in cases of economic hardship. TRI’s activities target riders aged roughly 4 to over 65 who have a variety of disabilities, focusing on goals such as independent riding skills, safety around horses, grooming and tack responsibilities, and mounting and dismounting with minimal assistance.
