Special Equestrian Riding Therapy (SERT) is a nonprofit therapeutic riding program that has served children and adults with disabilities since 1987. The program was created to improve quality of life through horsemanship, helping riders build confidence, emotional growth, and practical skills through work with horses.

SERT offers therapeutic riding along with equine care activities such as grooming, preparing supplements, maintaining stalls, and learning safe interaction with horses. Its program supports participants with a wide range of disabilities and special needs, including autism, cerebral palsy, developmental disabilities, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments.

The program operates in Moorpark at Classic Equestrian Center and continues to serve the Ventura County area through horse-based therapeutic support.
