Horseplay Therapeutic Riding Center The nonprofit Horseplay Therapeutic Riding Center, which is affiliated with NARHA, offers a year-round therapeutic recreational horseback-riding program for special needs children and adults. (Enrollment requires physician consent. For more information, click on "Enrolling" above.) Riding develops strength and balance, and increases self-esteem, benefiting individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, Down Syndrome, autism, brain injury or head trauma, visual and and hearing impairments, mental or learning disorders and muscular dystrophy.

Volunteer Spotlight
Horseplay volunteer Kiera Daniels says that when she was stationed at Travis Air Force Base three and a half years ago, she was looking for somewhere to volunteer. "When I went on the Web I found a site called
volunteermatch.com. They matched me up with Horseplay. I guess you could
say it was a perfect match."
Horseplay In-House Horse Show, Sat., July 31. We celebrate our riders' accomplishments with special classes, ribbons and prizes before our month-long summer break in August. It's a fun day for everyone!
