Notes

The nonprofit Horseplay Therapeutic Riding Center, which is certified by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), offers a year-round recreational horseback-riding program for children and adults with disabilities. Riding develops strength, good posture, balance and courage, and benefits individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, Down Syndrome, autism, brain injury or head trauma, visual and and hearing impairments, mental or learning disorders and muscular dystrophy.

The center offers one riding session of 45 minutes on Wednesday evening, 5:00-6:00 p.m., and three 45-minute sessions on Saturday mornings, beginning at 9:00 a.m. All sessions are held in Dixon, Calif., which is located in Solano County, 20 miles west of Sacramento and 36 miles east of Vallejo.
