The mission of C.A.N.T.E.R. is to promote the health and independence of individuals with disabilities using therapeutic riding in a safe and caring environment.
The Cochise Area Network of Therapeutic Equestrian Resources (CANTER) is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit United Way organization that offers therapeutic riding. CANTER's vision is to serve all eligible individuals in Cochise County, using multiple instructors with diverse skills and training methods to safely and effectively meet the specific needs and requirements of its students. CANTER is accredited by NARHA, the national organization that sets the standards for therapeutic riding centers throughout the country. CANTER is one of only three Premier Accredited riding centers in the state of Arizona. CANTER operates its therapeutic riding program for the schools on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This program provides services to students with special needs from the Sierra Vista, Tombstone, Palominas, Bisbee and Naco school districts. In addition to the public school districts, we serve private-pay individuals from local health organizations and private families. Saturdays are dedicated to private-pay individuals who can provide their own transportation to and from CANTER.
