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
24
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,
