Facts checked 2026-09-01
The CENTER for Therapeutic & Educational Riding, Inc. is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) based at C-Line Stables in Townsend, DE. Alongside its Typical Riding Lesson Program covered here — Kinderide, Private, and Group lessons open to riders without disabilities — The CENTER separately runs a Therapeutic Horseback Riding program and other specialized services (At-Risk Youth, Seniors Active Living, Adult Day, and Our Farm for Everyone) for participants with physical, cognitive, or psychological challenges; those programs have their own staffing, equipment, and enrollment path and are not what's described in this listing.
