JoyRide is a member of PATH International (formerly NARHA) and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. JoyRide Center was started by a visionary group of people, many who have been involved with therapeutic riding for over 20 years and including several of the finest and most experienced therapeutic riding instructors and therapists in the country. The goal of this group was to build a program that would always choose quality over quantity, keep the clients as the number one priority and build a place where everyone involved - volunteers, clients, and supporters - are part of the JoyRide Family. The mission of JoyRide Center is to help people with different abilities find more joy in life through equine-assisted activities and therapies.
