Therapeutic riding is used to achieve goals that enhance physical, emotional, social, cognitive, behavioral and educational skills for people with special needs. We not only focus on riding skills but also the development of a relationship between horse and rider.
We use a team approach to create a fun, safe, individual riding experience that provides an environment that fosters growth in strength, coordination, balance, speech, body awareness, education, independence, and confidence.Everyone at Ride Above is committed to changing lives for the better, no matter who you are.

About Us
Report
Ride Above Disability Therapeutic Riding Center is a PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) member center that teaches recreational riding to children and adults of all ages with special needs. The idea behind Ride Above was to create a place where the entire family unit could come and feel welcome, relax and enjoy their time at the ranch.
Our Horses
Report
I've been at Rolling Hills as long as I can remember. I've had many different people work with me through my youth which has prepared me for my new job as a therapy horse. I'm a fun loving guy that gets bored easily. I love to be moving, playing with something or being entertained by the people in my life.
