CELEBRATING OUR 14TH YEAR OF OPERATION
Access Equestrian is an adaptive horse riding program located in the heart of Westchester County's horse country.
Established in 2010 to provide adaptive riding lessons for both children and adults with a broad range of disabilities. We are a federally recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to provide the therapeutic benefits of adaptive riding, hippotherapy, horsemanship, and other equine-assisted activities to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and other life challenges.
