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. SIRESpring, call 281-353-6160. SIREHockley, call
