SIRE, HOUSTON’S THERAPEUTIC
EQUESTRIAN CENTERS
Nothing else can compare with therapy on horseback. Equineassisted
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,
