OUR PROGRAMS

SonRise offers four weekly programs free of charge. Due to the overwhelming need for equine therapy in our community, we have a waitlist for most of our programs ranging from two to five years. 

We are currently unable to offer supplementary paid lessons.

In the Saddle is a horseback riding program geared towards children facing physical and developmental challenges. Lessons partner one child, one instructor, and one horse for a 45 minute session, which includes some grooming and saddling if the child is able. Lessons are personally tailored to accommodate the special needs of each child.

We also offer In the Saddle Junior for children from the ages of 4-6 with developmental challenges.

Team Equine is a working ranch program geared towards children facing social and emotional challenges. Supervised by adult volunteers, the kids participate in chores, horse science, riding, and arts & crafts. The activities incorporate life skills like responsibility, work ethic, empathy, and manners. SonRise fosters an environment where the kids can build solid relationships with each other and with positive role models in a healthy community.
