🐎⛑️ Step into a world where horses become healers and empowerment flourishes. Welcome to The Riding Therapy Center (RTC), a place where our mission is to inspire, uplift, and transform through the magic of therapeutic horsemanship.

🏆 Since 1989, the RTC has been a source of hope and change. Founded by Judy and Hank Gillespie, our center has become a haven where the power of horse-human connection thrives. Through our Equine Assisted Services, we provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals aged 4 and beyond to discover their potential.

🌟 Certified instructors and dedicated volunteers guide our participants on a journey of empowerment. From improving coordination and balance to fostering cognitive and emotional growth, every hoof-beat contributes to positive change.

📖 In fact, research has identified a number of benefits lined to interacting with horses. For example, an increase in patience, confidence, social skills, and self-assuredness. Physically, research participants experienced decreased pain, stress, anger, and anxiety, as well as a lower heart rate and blood pressure.
