Founded in 1985, the B.O.K. Ranch Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program is dedicated to providing horseback riding lessons to children and adults with special needs.

 

 

Therapeutic horseback riding allows students with physical, cognitive, emotional, and/or developmental disabilities to develop physical strength, balance, control, self-confidence, and self-esteem. At B.O.K. Ranch, students focus not on a limitation, but on an ability. They interact with our wonderful horses, staff, and volunteers, and the results are extraordinary.

 

B.O.K. Ranch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Our facility includes large all weather outdoor arenas, turnout pastures, a cross country course, and access to miles of trails. We have been accredited since 1985 by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), and all of our instructors are NARHA certified. We maintain our status as a NARHA Premier Accredited Center, meaning we meet the highest standards for health and safety to promote the well-being of all our participants and horses.
