Content Summary

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center strives to enhance the quality of life of people with special challenges through participation in equine assisted activities and therapeutic riding. We are a place where individuals come together and where victories — some dramatic, some modest, but all significant — are joyously celebrated.

Situated on 25 acres adjacent to Silver Lake Regional Park in Haymarket, VA, Rainbow has a state of the art indoor arena and viewing area, 12 horse barn with loft space for games and activities, an outdoor arena, and ample trails for wildlife watching.

Key Concepts + Initiatives

Field trips can be tailored to meet the needs and interests of individual groups, including learning about the special therapy horses, what exactly ‘therapeutic riding’ means, and how daily life on the farm works.

Guidelines & Policies

    1. While there may be opportunities to interact with horses on field trips, riding horses is NOT involved in field trip experiences. Riding programs are separate.
    2. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center is a nonprofit, public charity organization 501(c)(3). Although field trips are free, any donations are appreciated and go directly towards supporting the farm and its programs. A recommended donation for a group field trip is $100.

Established in 1985, Rainbow is a non-profit organization that provides equine assisted activities to children and adults with physical, educational, mental health, cognitive disabilities and other challenges. Our students develop physical strength and better mobility, self-esteem and self-confidence while receiving benefits through an equestrian activity that accommodates their specific needs.

Under the guidance of PATH Intl. certified riding instructors, adaptive riding helps individuals experience physical and emotional rewards. In addition to our staff, a very dedicated group of volunteers and specially selected horses help to meet the needs of our exceptional students.

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center operates under the guidelines of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) and our instructors are all PATH Intl. certified.
