Located at 23325 South Airport Road, the SunCatcher Therapeutic Riding Academy is a nonprofit organization providing inclusive equine-assisted therapeutic horsemanship, guided by instructors, that empower people with disabilities to flourish and thrive. Their instructors are experienced and follow the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) standards. Their instructors and trained volunteers are dedicated to making it a safe, educational, and joyous experience for every rider. The SunCatcher Therapeutic Riding Academy uses gentle and well-trained horses for both mounted and ground-work sessions. These horses have been conditioned to the necessary equipment and motion associated with therapeutic horsemanship.
