About Us
The Therapeutic Riding Institute (TRI) is the only PATH International Premier Accredited center in the Dayton region serving approximately 250 individuals annually. Our Equine Partners help people of all ages with a variety of physical, emotional, cognitive, or behavioral challenges reach goals they never thought possible. Since our founding in 1973, we have helped hundreds of people improve their physical an emotional well-being.
Ranging in age from 5 to 80 years old, our participants come from everywhere throughout the Southwest Ohio region. Our wide-array of programming allows us to serve a variety of diagnoses, from Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, learning delays and more in our Therapeutic Riding program to various mental health diagnoses through our unmounted equine-assisted counseling program. We also offer opportunities for youth organizations to help their participants focus on social and emotional learning through the unique experience of equine-assisted learning.
