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 281-356-7588.
