About EquestrianTherapy.com
An independent directory and learning resource that helps individuals, families and caregivers find equine therapy programs in the United States and Canada, and understand how they work before reaching out.
Our Mission
Equine-assisted therapy can be life-changing, but finding the right program is often harder than it should be. Listings are scattered, terminology is confusing, and it isn’t always clear what a given center actually offers. We built EquestrianTherapy.com to fix that: one place to discover programs by location, learn what different therapies involve, and make an informed choice.
What We Do
Our directory lists 966 riding centers and equine-assisted programs across the US and Canada, searchable by state or province or by how close they are to you. Alongside the directory, our guides explain the different approaches, including therapeutic riding, hippotherapy and equine-assisted learning, so you know what you’re looking for before you call.
What We Don’t Do
We don’t provide therapy, and we don’t run any of the centers listed here. We can’t book sessions, answer questions about a specific center’s services, or recommend a particular program for you or your child. Please contact centers directly.
Where Our Listings Come From
Most listings are compiled from public sources such as accreditation directories and program websites, so details can go out of date. Centers can claim their listing for free to confirm their information and earn a Verified badge. Verification only means the center has confirmed it manages the listing, and paying for a premium listing never earns one. Always confirm current services, certifications and availability with the center before making a decision.
How We Write Our Guides
Our guides are written for families and caregivers, not clinicians. We cite our sources, describe the research honestly, including where it’s limited, and present equine therapy as a complement to other care, not a replacement for it. Our guide to equine therapy is a good place to start.
Who It Can Help
Equine-assisted programs serve a wide range of people: children with developmental and learning differences, veterans and first responders, adults working through anxiety or PTSD, people with autism, and individuals with physical disabilities looking for movement-based therapy. Different centers specialize in different groups, which is why finding the right match matters.
