The Saddle
Light Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship
A non-profit organization created in 1991 to
help people reach their full potential. Since then, through the
generosity of our Sponsors and Volunteer work force, we currently provide
equine therapy for riders of all ages each week. The Saddle
Light Center is committed to improving the self-esteem and quality of life
of the disabled population in the San Antonio area.
Our
mission is to provide equestrian therapy for
children,
teenagers and adults with neurological, orthopedic, learning, emotional or
other disabilities.
Our goal is to inspire our riders to
accomplishments previously considered beyond their
capabilities.
