Building Confidence and Strength, One Ride at a Time
Equine-assisted growth for individuals of every ability
Since 1999, Hoof & Paw Therapeutic Riding & Activity Center has offered riding lessons and related equine activities to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities or disadvantages. Located in the heart of northern Davidson County, we cultivate physical, mental, and emotional growth through lessons that blend riding, games, and essential farm skills.
