Rideability Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc.

Rideability Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc. We offer Equine Assisted Services & Learning to children & young adults with disabilities & veterans. international.

RideAbility’s vision began when watching the power of a horse with a child unable to walk with cerebral palsy. He was given an opportunity to move freely and independently while on the back of a horse– an approach called Therapeutic Riding which is supported by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, P.A.T.H. Watching that child’s physical and emotional connection with the horse,

and the way the child’s treatment accelerated, we knew we had found our calling. Combining our passion for riding and teaching therapeutic riding to special needs individuals along with our life-long love of horses, RideAbility opened in Clover SC in 2012 . We bring the benefits of therapeutic riding to individuals with a wide range of disabilities to South Carolina. Wendy Schonfeld the Director of RideAbility is a PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor, Advanced Special Olympics Equestrian Coach and a Doctor of Chiropractic. These combined skills allow her to offer a unique perspective as well as absolute competency directing and teaching Therapeutic Horseback Riding at RideAbility.

✨ Going into 2026 with Purpose, Growth, and Possibility ✨

As we step into 2026, we are filled with excitement, hope, and determination. A new year brings new goals, new challenges, and new opportunities—and at our center, every goal is rooted in growth, confidence, and connection.

This year, our riders and participants will continue working through Equine assisted services, adaptive riding and equine-assisted learning, building skills that reach far beyond the barn. Together, we will focus on:

🐴 Physical growth – improving balance, strength, coordination, and body awareness
🧠 Cognitive & executive functioning skills – focus, planning, problem-solving, and following multi-step directions
💛 Emotional growth – confidence, self-regulation, resilience, and emotional awareness
🤝 Social skills – communication, teamwork, trust, and relationship-building
🌱 Independence & life skills – goal-setting, responsibility, leadership, and self-advocacy

Through structured courses, hands-on horsemanship, and meaningful relationships with our incredible horses, participants will set goals, work through challenges, and celebrate accomplishments—big and small.

Every lesson is a step forward.
Every challenge is an opportunity to grow.
Every success is a reminder of what’s possible with patience, support, and heart.

Here’s to a powerful 2026—full of learning, healing, growth, and goals achieved.
We can’t wait to watch our riders, families, volunteers, and horses thrive together. Our teams are ready to help our students succeed.❤️❤️❤️🐎

We love learning new skills and building on ones we are learning. The winds said “no” to riding and “yes” to groundwork. Groundwork is the foundation of every healthy, successful relationship between a horse and a human. Plus it’s super fun and wowww what confidence builder. It is where trust is built, communication is established, and mutual respect is developed—long before anyone ever gets in the saddle. Through groundwork, the horse learns to understand our cues, expectations, and boundaries, while we learn to read the horse’s body language, emotions, and responses.

A strong groundwork program teaches the horse essential life skills such as leading calmly, standing. Groundwork builds confidence on both sides. For the horse, it provides clarity and consistency. For the student it develops awareness, and leadership skills. Groundwork allows challenges to be addressed at a slower pace and lower intensity, creating a safe space to problem-solve, build confidence, and reinforce positive behaviors without the added complexity of riding.

Groundwork is also a powerful tool for relationship building. Horses are highly social, perceptive animals, and they form opinions based on how interactions make them feel. It builds the emotional bond and trust between horse and human. The horse learns that the person is a calm, reliable leader, and the person learns to listen and respond appropriately.

Groundwork creates a stronger connection, a more willing partner, and a more successful and rewarding journey together. Plus education and learning.
