Equest

Equest began in 1981 with five riders, two horses, one instructor and ten volunteers. Today, the program has ten certified instructors, 3 physical therapists and one occupational therapist that annually provide services for over 450 riders with disabilities. The therapy team is assisted by specially trained horses and over 300 volunteers each week who provide in excess of 30,000 hours of direct program service to riders every year.

Located in Wylie, Texas (just outside of Dallas) on 48 acres, the riding center has both indoor and outdoor riding arenas, a specialized treatment facility, a 39-stall barn, two out barns, administration offices, conference room and dormitory housing for our interns and instructor candidates.
