Morning Dove Theraputic Riding Center

Empowering lives through the power of horses

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Central Indiana, Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding Center offers a unique blend of equine-assisted therapies and activities. Founded in 1998, our mission remains steadfast: to enhance the lives of individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities through the magic of horses.

A tailored approach to healing and empowerment

Our personalized programs cater to a diverse range of needs, catering to individuals from 4 to 80 years old. From therapeutic riding lessons to engaging summer camps and interactive farm visits, we tailor each experience to address individual challenges and foster personal growth.

The transformative power of the horse-human connection

Our experienced and compassionate team, alongside a cadre of specially trained and loving horses, create a safe and supportive environment. We harness the unique bond between humans and horses to facilitate:

• Therapeutic Riding: Guided by certified instructors, individuals learn basic riding skills while strengthening core muscles, improving balance, and enhancing coordination.
• Therapeutic Horsemanship: More than just riding, this program focuses on developing skills for everyday activities, such as grooming, tacking, and communicating with the horse.

Additional programs and community involvement

Our offerings extend beyond therapeutic sessions. We actively engage the community through:

• Haybales & Pony Tales: Educational workshops where children learn about horse care and the benefits of equine therapy.
• Barn Buddies: Volunteer opportunities for individuals to engage in meaningful activities and contribute to our mission.

Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding Center welcomes anyone who seeks to overcome challenges, discover their potential, and experience the unparalleled connection with horses. We encourage you to schedule a visit and witness the transformative power of our programs firsthand.
