Therapeutic Benefits
Our History
1990 Riding Unlimited began at a leased facility with six borrowed horses and 70 volunteers.
1997 RU moved to its 46‑acre ranch in Ponder, expanding programs and community reach.
Today We continue to grow, serving veterans, first responders, children, and adults with diverse physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
Why Horses?
“In riding a horse, we borrow freedom.”
Every week, our riders experience freedom from their walkers and wheelchairs. The unique movement of the horse mimics human walking, providing benefits that are hard to replicate in a clinical setting. Improved mobility, muscle strength, and emotional well-being are just a few ways horses change lives.
