Our Story
Report
Improving the minds, bodies and spirits of children and adults with physical, developmental and emotional challenges through the benefits of therapeutic riding and equine-assisted activities. Founded in 2008 by Mary and Theron Simons, Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Center incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2010.
Our Therapy Horses
Report
Each member of our herd has a very unique personality, but they all share traits in common that make them ideal for serving the participants in our therapeutic riding and equine-assisted activities programs. Horses that succeed in these roles tend to be between 10 and 20 years old and have a solid foundation of training and experience.

Programs
Report
Our services are offered year round, broken into four semesters winter, spring, summer and fall varying in length from six to twelve weeks. Certified therapeutic riding instructions, with the assistance of specially trained volunteers, conduct each session. Based on the needs of each participant, we explore the benefits of the human-equine bond through equine-assisted activities.
Specialty Adult Programming
Report
Horses are dynamic, graceful and gentle creatures that provide us with the opportunity to learn valuable information about ourselves. This four-hour workshop takes attendees on a "journey" with horses through a series of unmounted (not riding) activities designed to build greater self-awareness and apply the special lessons learned from horses to daily life.
