Our Organization

River Valley Riders is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to create a supportive community where people with special needs connect with horses and experience life-changing benefits.  We offer therapeutic horseback riding and carriage driving lessons and hippotherapy.

All of our lessons are open to students in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and western Wisconsin. We are proud to say that our equine-assisted services are possible with the help of over 200 caring volunteers who dedicated over 5,800 hours annually! As a team, we work together to enhance the participant’s physical, cognitive and emotional health while building a community of structure and support.

Please note: Safety is a high priority and we conduct all lessons in accordance with the safety, training and instructional guidelines of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International.
