SIRE, Houston’s <strong>The</strong>rapeutic<br />
Equestrian Centers<br />
Nothing else can compare with therapy on horseback. Equine-assisted<br />
activities improve physical balance and coordination, mental acuity,<br />
emotional stability and social interactions. At SIRE, we see miracles on<br />
horseback happen every day. <strong>The</strong> work of our dedicated volunteers<br />
helps guarantee that children and adults with disabilities in the Greater<br />
Houston Area will have the programs they need to live longer, healthier,<br />
more productive lives.<br />
In addition to their weekly work in the arena, many of our volunteers<br />
donate their time and talents at fund-raising events such as our annual<br />
Ride-A-Thon and the yearly Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers are on<br />
hand during the NARHA on-site certification and annual SIRE Show-Off<br />
and volunteers are vital to our Clients’ successes at the Top Hands Horse<br />
Show, during the Houston Rodeo and competition at the regional and<br />
state Special Olympics. <strong>The</strong>rapeutic horseback riding creates a bond<br />
