The Therapeutic Riding Center of Huntington Beach was
founded in 1990 by a group of community volunteers to provide
services to individuals with disabilities In the form of equine
assisted activities. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
and a member of NARHA (North American Riding for the
Handicapped Association).

We serve individuals of all ages with a variety of disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, spinal meningitis, Down syndrome, vision and hearing impairments, learning disabilities and developmental delay of all levels. TRC serves students from Huntington Beach, as well as greater Orange and Los Angeles Counties.

The value of a horse as a therapeutic tool has been well documented over the past fifty years. In a world where we are often judged by appearances, where our abilities are over-shadowed by our disabilities, the horse does not judge.

TRCHB receives no government funding. We rely solely on grants, fund-raising events, individual and corporate donations, and a minimal tuition to meet our operating costs.

VOLUNTEERS are a vital part of our program. Without them, our students do not ride. Our volunteers are trained under the direct guidance of a NARHA-certified instructor. They are taught to sidewalk, lead, tack and groom our gentle horses. Please contact us if you'd like to be a part of this incredible program. Must be 13 years of age to volunteer.
