Mission Statement
Silver Lining helps people overcome life's obstacles through equine interaction
About This Cause
Silver Lining Riding is an equine-assisted learning center specializing in adaptive/therapeutic riding and horsemanship. People with physical, emotional, psychological, and educational needs have all benefited from our programs. We help people overcome life’s obstacles through equine interaction! A disability does not have to limit a person from riding horses. In fact, experiencing the motion of a horse can be very therapeutic. Horseback riding rhythmically moves the body in a manner similar to a human gait, and students with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance, and muscle strength. Our certified riding instructors work with students as young as four to motivate and assist them in safely developing independent skills that can carry over to their everyday lives. Silver Lining Riding is a volunteer-based program with a small staff overseeing 100 volunteers and more than 45 clients a week. Our program spends less than 10% of its budget on administration and fundraising. Our program operates in the under-served community of the west valley of the Phoenix metro area.
