Rescue/Recreation Involving Deserving Equine (RIDE) is a volunteer driven network of equine professionals, rescuers, trainers, owners and educators who joined forces in 2008 to promote responsible horse ownership and therapeutic equine recreation opportunities. Our commitment to the horse has made us who we are today, and will help make RIDE the organization of choice tomorrow for owners and novices alike.
