Sunrise, Inc

Offering Therapeutic Horseback Riding Lessons in Richmond, Indiana

Our Mission

Sunrise Inc. was founded to serve individuals with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities through equine assisted therapy. Sunrise, Inc. is a certified barn under the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship – International (PATH) and staffs PATH instructors. We currently have over a dozen horses.

What Makes Sunrise Unique?

Sunrise offers horseback riding and ground lessons throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. Our activity calendar is based around three ten week sessions. Sunrise has an indoor and an outdoor arena, so lessons take place rain or shine. We maintain a herd of several working horses and ponies. We work hard to match participants with the right horse for them.

Sunrise has several different programs to meet the needs of all ages and ability levels.
