The New Mexico Center for Therapeutic Riding was founded in 2006 to provide equine-assisted activities and therapies for individuals in our community living with the challenges of special needs. Certified therapeutic riding instructors teach horsemanship and riding skills with the goal of expanding the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of both adult and youth riders.
