Ride To Walk is a therapeutic horseback riding program located in Lincoln, CA. Its mission is to enhance the lives of children and young adults with
neurological disabilities by providing innovative therapeutic horseback riding
activities that are recreational in nature and adapted to the individual's needs
and disabilities. They serve children with disabilities such as autism, cerebral
palsy, muscular dystrophy, attention deficit disorder, head trauma and sensory
processing challenges.
Sadly, Ride To Walk is facing a severe financial challenge. They recently lost a
major source of funding through Alta - a private nonprofit corporation working
under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services;
however, the California legislature has stated that the funding for such
programs as Ride To Walk is being eliminated for at least a year because of
state budget cuts. Without funding from Alta, Ride To Walk is having a very
difficult time continuing to serve children with special needs. If you can
donate either money or time, please contact Kris at
