SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS
MORE INFO
The Special Equestrian program at Triple R Ranch uses the movement and interaction of a horse to help individuals with physical disabilities. This riding program can help participants improve balance, core strength, flexibility, muscle tone, posture, coordination, and self-confidence.
Special Equestrians are dedicated pleasure riding lessons for the disabled. It is our pleasure to be able to provide this program with our gentle horses and helpful volunteers. There are two sessions every year in the spring and the fall, which each consist of eight weekly lessons.
Volunteers are an essential part of Special Equestrians, requiring three per participant (a horse handler and two side walkers). When you volunteer with Special Equestrians, you help people achieve things they may have never thought possible. You do not need any experience working with horses or individuals with disabilities. We will train you. We are always looking for volunteers who are committed and are reliable, willing to learn and be respectful to others.
For more information call our office at (757) 421-4177 or e-mail 3Rspecialequestrians@gmail.com

When Triple R Ranch opened its gates for the first time, horses were an important part of the Ranch's plans. We meet adults today who still remember the names of their favorite Triple R Ranch horses from when they were kids!
Horseback riding is still an integral part of Triple R Ranch year-round. Our riding program is supervised and taught by well-trained, qualified instructors who uphold safety as the top priority. With this focus in mind, we are proud to offer a variety of equestrian learning opportunities.
