What is your favorite breed of horse?
Our Head Instructor's favorite breed is the Gypsy Vanner.
Known for their calm demeanor, compact size, and feather, this breed is the perfect size and temperament for riding centers. Pictured is our Head Instructor's Gypsy Vanner filly, Toodaloo.

What's being said around the barn?

My beautiful bella girl who I enjoy riding and spoiling and learning from and learning along side of because we are both still learning. We have developed a bond and it will break my heart to walk away from her even though we are warned to not get too attached to the horses because most of them are leased through the program it's still hard not to. The treat reward gift program was fun to be able to shop for the horses.

Sunrise has been a part of the Richmond community for over 40 years. We've impacted the lives of hundreds of people who live in Wayne County as well as the surrounding counties. Our horses have brought joy, healing, and companionship to individuals of all ages. Through our various programs, we have provided therapeutic riding sessions for children with special needs, offered equine-assisted learning for at-risk youth, and facilitated bonding experiences for families and veterans. The bond formed between our horses and participants creates a unique environment for growth, learning, and emotional well-being. At Sunrise, we are committed to continuing our mission of making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve, fostering a sense of community and connection through the power of equine therapy.

Here is what is being said around the barn:
"My girl loves all horses! But Sunrise Therapeutic Riding Center has really held a special place in her heart! The staff are kind and welcoming and she has learned so much! Everyday she is talking about one of the horses and something fun and cute they did and she misses them when she isn’t there!

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING AROUND THE BARN?
Sunrise wasn't just horseback riding lessons - it was a lifeline for us. My child struggled with a lot on a day-to-day basis, and this has been one of the only things that seems to help. Here, with the guidance of the instructors and the calming presence of the horses, she is truly coming out of her shell. Seeing my child connect with these amazing animals is a gift I'll never forget. Thank you, Sunrise!
