Rev. November 2, 2008

Discovery Riders, Inc., is a non-profit, therapeutic equestrian learning and
riding experience in Logan County, Ohio, for young people with special
emotional needs, communication disorders, physical challenges and/or
learning disabilities. We¡¯re affiliated with the North American Riding for
the Handicapped Association, which establishes program standards,

provides insurance and trains and certifies instructors.

 

We provide services year round at our equine facility located at

5850 St. Rt. 292, Zanesfield, OH 43360, where we have a heated

5,400 square foot indoor riding arena and horse barn and a 5,000 square foot outdoor arena.

It took a little while, but somebody gave her a boost, walked next to her and promised her that she could succeed. Our goal is to provide physically, mentally and emotionally challenged people an opportunity to improve their lives through horsemanship.

Imagine how it feels to a child who makes her way through life on crutches or a walker to be aboard one of our therapy horses. Imagine, too, what it must feel like to be told every day about all the things you cannot do. And then to come to a place where there is something challenging and exciting you can do.

We don¡¯t think horses are magic ¨C well, actually we do ¨C but we know that learning a new skill will improve the way our riders see themselves and give them a reason to believe that when they succeed at horsemanship they can succeed at other things.
