Learn Our History and Mission
As the oldest and largest Therapeutic Riding Program in Minnesota, We Can Ride has been changing lives since 1982. Our mission is to connect humans and horses to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities and meet the evolving needs of our greater community.
By making equine activities accessible, we support our clients in their pursuit of living full and rich lives. Whether in the saddle or working with horses on the ground, the diversity of experiences we offer is matched only by the diversity of the people we serve.
…at other places, people stare because I have a disability. At We Can Ride, I am just a girl learning to ride and spending time with her best friends. The horses and volunteers see me for who I am. I am no longer ‘that girl who walks funny.’
Samantha gets to be an athlete… I get to be a regular mom… she likes looking back at me and showing me what she is doing. It’s a sense of pride for both of us.
