Equest Special Riders, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote physical and mental strength, coordination, as well as self-esteem and enjoyment through horseback riding activities for individuals with disabilities.

Description:
Riding develops self-confidence, coordination and strengthens muscles. Attention span increases and self-esteem is elevated, and besides, it's fun.
During their lessons, riders receive instruction in basic horsemanship as well as specialized activities for their individual disabilities.

Our well-trained horses accept wheelchairs, ramps, and various procedures. We have horses to accommodate all sizes of riders from small children to large adults.

History:
Located in the Puget Sound area of Western Washington State. This program of trained volunteers, offering therapeutic horseback riding to persons with Developmental Disabilities, has been in existence since 1982.
