NAHRA logo
Greenwell offers a comprehensive horseback riding program with lessons for beginning riders at least seven years of age. Greenwell also offers a Therapeutic Riding Program designed for individuals age seven and older with developmental, physical, or emotional challenges. The TRP is a Center Member of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA). Founded in 1969, NARHA's mission is to change and enrich lives by promoting excellence in equine-assisted activities. Greenwell's TRP is based on the principles and methods of NARHA.

Greenwell has a limited number of scholarships available for the Therapeutic Riding Program.

Riding lessons are offered by session. Each session consists of 12 weekly one-hour lessons (Winter Session is 10 weekly one-hour lessons). A session format offers riders the ability to improve their skills over a specific period of time. Instructors have the time to evaluate each rider and prepare an organized progression plan tailored to individual needs with a documented end goal.

Greenwell offers summer Horse Camps and Horse Camp for a Day throughout the school year.
