Public materials also describe horse-centered programming that includes mounted lessons, grooming, and other supportive barn-based activities tailored to participant needs.
Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is affiliated with PATH International. The program is based at 17170 Harbeson Road in Milton, with a mailing address in Nassau, and presents its work as focused on accessible, supportive equine-assisted services for riders and families across southern Delaware.
