The Adaptive Riding Program provides therapeutic horseback riding instruction to children and adults with physical, cognitive, developmental, and emotional disabilities. Instruction is delivered by trained staff and supported by volunteers to ensure participant safety and individualized assistance. In May 2025, the organization hired a Program & Operations Manager to strengthen program oversight, scheduling, and outreach. As a result, rider enrollment increased from 42 riders in 2024 to 63 riders in 2025, representing 50% growth year-over-year. During 2025, the program delivered 1,159 mounted lessons to 63 unique riders.

Approximately 28 regular volunteers assist weekly with lessons and horse care, contributing an estimated 2.5 hours per shift and supporting individualized instruction and program safety. Participants are referred through partnerships including the Regional Center, Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, and community referrals.
