The Saddle Light Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship

The Saddle Light Center is an equestrian, therapeutic nonprofit organization located on the grounds of the Retama Equestrian Center in Selma, TX. We are a member of PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship). Therapeutic riding instructors and a physical therapist provide specialized riding instruction to disabled people of all ages. Volunteers provide rider support, horse care and handling, and assistance with stable chores.

Come share your love of children and horses with us. Our organization provides many forms of therapy to the disabled community in our 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 and improve the quality of life. The Saddle Light Center was incorporated as a nonprofit agency August 29, 1991. The center adheres to the strict safety and therapeutic riding standards set forth by PATH Intl. The program has grown to serve approximately 60 disabled clients per week. Staff consists of a licensed physical therapist, barn manager, horse trainer, volunteer coordinator, administrative assistant and numerous volunteers as well as our very special horses.
