SIRE, HOUSTON’S THERAPEUTIC<br />
EQUESTRIAN CENTERS<br />
Nothing else can compare with therapy on horseback. Equineassisted<br />
activities improve physical balance and coordination,<br />
mental acuity, emotional stability and social interactions. At SIRE,<br />
we see miracles on horseback happen every day. The work of our<br />
dedicated volunteers helps guarantee that children and adults with<br />
disabilities in the Greater Houston Area will have the programs they<br />
need to live longer, healthier, 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<br />
annual Ride-A-Thon and the yearly Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers<br />
are on hand during the NARHA on-site certification and annual SIRE<br />
Show-Off and volunteers are vital to our Clients’ successes at the<br />
Top Hands Horse Show, during the Houston Rodeo and competition<br />
at the regional and state Special Olympics. Therapeutic horseback<br />
riding creates a bond of success between the rider and their horse.<br />
Volunteers are their own personal cheering section and the instructor<br />
is their mentor and coach. Clients become more empowered and<br />
better equipped to fully live their lives, each day.<br />
