MISSION Agape Therapeutic Riding
Resources cultivates personal growth by strengthening the mind, body, and spirit through unique horse-assisted experiences.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY Agape Therapeutic Riding Resources serves children (4 years and up) and adults with a physical, emotional, social, or cognitive disability. Programs are designed to meet the needs of individuals and groups. Lessons are facilitated by Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship–certified (PATH-certified) Therapeutic Riding Instructors and PATH Equine Specialists in Mental Health and Learning (ESHML) to inspire emotional, cognitive, social, and physical growth through interactive and engaging activities with horses. We offer therapeutic riding classes for individuals and equine-assisted learning programs for groups.
