Notes

Rainbow Center is a place where the disabled and horses come together, and where victories -- some dramatic, some modest, but all significant -- are joyously celebrated.

Established in 1985, Rainbow Center is a non-profit organization which provides therapeutic equestrian activities to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities in Prince William County and surrounding Northern Virginia areas. Our clients are primarily children who benefit from their involvement by developing self-esteem and self-confidence while receiving therapy from an equestrian activity.

Under the guidance of registered therapists and certified riding instructors, therapeutic riding helps individuals experience physical and emotional rewards. In addition to our staff, a very dedicated group of volunteers and specially selected horses complete our team to meet the needs of this exceptional group of people.

The Rainbow Center operates under the guidelines of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA). Our instructors are NARHA certified.

Rainbow Center offers two distinct types of riding:
  • Therapeutic Riding
  • Hippotherapy
