Notes

Handi-Riders of Northern California is a non-profit organization serving the special needs of individuals with physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities with therapeutic horseback riding.

Riding classes are conducted under the direction of our Registered NARHA Instructors with the help of trained volunteers. Each rider may require as many as three to four volunteers to assist them with their riding instruction: one volunteer to handle the horse and two along side to "spot" the rider as well as some students needing backriders to help with balance.

Handi-Riders is a member and Premier Accredited Operating Center of North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA). Our program is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) as an accepted form of therapeutic activity for individuals with disabilities.
