Therapeutic Riding Center Huntington Beach Events

Located in Huntington Beach Central Park, the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center is open to the public, providing programs and rental space for special events. One of its unique programs is the Therapeutic Riding Center, designed to engage children meeting specific criteria, and qualifying for the one-on-one riding experience on some of the park horses. While the kids shown in these pictures are not participants in that program, you can see the delight on the face of most children who find riding horses an experience that builds confidence and even relaxation.

The Therapeutic Riding Center is a nonprofit organization that is operated mostly by volunteers who regularly hosts classes or ride days with the youngsters in the program. Amongst the therapeutic centers activities are not only the rides, but the needed fundraisers to finance the programs.

When you read about a special event hosted by the Therapeutic Riding Center, you can generally count on an event in which most the proceeds will benefit the program.

For those who want to become more acquainted with the Central Park Equestrian Center, it is open daily. You can visit and watch the horses run their paces with their owners, who pay boarding fees to keep their horses in stables in Huntington Beach.

You can also reserve a guided tour ride of your own by calling and making reservations. It's a fun way to explore Edwards Hill, its wildflowers, scenic vistas, and the equestrian trails.
