As the first Premier Accredited PATH facility in Central Florida, we provide therapeutic riding to adults and children four years and older with developmental, learning, or other disabilities. The program began with two riders, a borrowed horse and the support of a handful of dedicated volunteers, renting space at a local barn.
From our centrally located facility we have seen an increase in overall services of more than 40% to date. Today, Freedom Ride reaches out to over 150 individuals annually and makes a dramatic impact on their lives one smiling rider at a time!

Meet the Horses
Our Retired Horse Therapists
Our special horses have touched the lives of so many people in so many ways that when it's time for them to retire we find loving homes for each horse. We appreciate how our horses have served and improved the lives of deserving individuals not just therapeutically, but as friends who care for each rider in their own special way.
In Loving Memory
"Always remember that once a horse has touched your soul they will always be with you"
