About Our Herd
Rainbow Riders is home to a beautiful herd of horses who are housed in a small stall barn on our property. Each week our team of dedicated horses provides equine-assisted activities and therapies to a diverse group of participants.
Each of Rainbow Riders’ therapy horses are selected, trained, and cared for according to criteria developed in combination with industry standards and requirements specific to our program, activities, and riders. Joining us from all backgrounds, our horses are versatile and varied, allowing Rainbow Riders to accommodate all of our riders and unmounted sessions. They truly are the therapists in the riding & unmounted sessions.
Sponsorship opportunities are available to help support the day-to-day care of our wonderful herd.
Our participants are why we do it -
Our horses are how we do it!

Learn about our 401Hay Program for our herd!
Our herd are lifelong members of the Rainbow Riders family. After years of dedicated service providing therapy, support, and joy to our participants, they deserve a comfortable and well-cared-for retirement. The 401HAY Plan ensures our horses have the resources they need such as proper nutrition and medical care once they transition out of active work. Your donations help us honor their years of service with the specialized retirement they deserve.
