About EHTRC
Emerald Hollow Therapeutic Riding Center is the first PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Therapeutic Riding Center on Cape Cod. Our aim is to offer a positive experience through equine-assisted services that address each participant’s strengths and weaknesses to build opportunities that help them reach their goals.
We are educators who focus on providing our participants with customized and comprehensive programs to challenge them to push beyond their perceived limits in a safe, controlled, and compassionate environment. Lessons are taught by our team of skilled, licensed PATH Intl. certified professionals and assisted by our trained volunteers. Our gentle, well-trained horses are also invaluable educators and partners.
We serve all of Barnstable County, as well as some towns on the South Shore. We work with organizations such as Latham Centers, Cape Abilities, Kennedy-Donovan Center, and the Hyannis Vet Center, as well as with individuals and their families.
The diagnoses we work with include Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Stroke Survivors, Down Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Developmental Delay, Visual and Hearing Impairments, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Muscular Dystrophy. Many of the individuals we serve, including disadvantaged young people, also navigate learning or behavioral disabilities.
