SIRE, HOUSTON’S THERAPEUTIC
EQUESTRIAN CENTERS
Nothing else can compare with therapy on
horseback. Equine-assisted activities improve
physical balance and coordination,
mental acuity, emotional stability and social
interactions. At SIRE, we see miracles on
horseback happen every day. The work of
our dedicated volunteers helps guarantee
that children and adults with disabilities
in the Greater Houston Area will have the
programs they need to live longer, healthier,
more productive lives.
In addition to their weekly work in the
arena, many of our volunteers donate their
time and talents at fund-raising events such
as our annual Ride-A-Thon and the yearly
Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers are on
hand during the NARHA on-site certification
and annual SIRE Show-Off and volunteers
are vital to our Clients’ successes at the
Top Hands Horse Show, during the Houston
Rodeo and competition at the regional and
state Special Olympics. Therapeutic horseback
riding creates a bond of success between
the rider and their horse. Volunteers
are their own personal cheering section and
the instructor is their mentor and coach. Clients
become more empowered and better
equipped to fully live their lives, each day.
To volunteer, please call one of our arenas
and ask to speak with a volunteer coordinator.
