Our Story
Our mission is to provide therapeutic horsemanship as a unique means to improve the quality of life for those with special needs, their families and the community.
Partners Therapeutic Horsemanship, founded in 2004, is set amidst the mountains of Lakeside in the El Monte Valley. Partners is a PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) Center and offers therapeutic riding lessons for people of all ages, with a variety of special needs and disabilities.
We provide riding instruction, positive physical and emotional experiences through interaction with horses. Children through adults, with various disabilities, can enjoy the immensely rewarding benefits of being outdoors by participating in therapeutic horseback riding and equine care.
Partners accepts a wide variety of clients with special needs and follows PATH International guidelines when determining the appropriateness of our program for each rider. Our riders come from individual families, group homes, and special education programs. We accept referrals from physicians, therapists, schools, and California Regional Centers. Partners also provides a unique, rewarding experience for those who volunteer with us.
