COVID-19 UPDATE 5/21/2020

The safety and well-being of our clients and volunteers remain our number one priority. We continue to monitor the ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus as we plan for tentative training and program start dates. Please continue to visit our website for our next update in early June. For more information.

There are many opportunities to help River Valley Riders by donating your time and talents. We welcome your involvement! We have a team of dedicated volunteers, highly trained certified instructors and gentle horses that allow us to provide therapeutic horseback riding and carriage driving lessons to children and adults with special needs. We are privileged to work with a caring, patient and strong community of people. As a volunteer with River Valley Riders, you're a co-owner in the mission and vision of what we're doing each and every week.
