CANTER serves riders of all ages. Currently we serve approximately 80
students from the Sierra Vista, Palominas, Tombstone, and Bisbee school
districts. In addition, we offer classes to private-pay students, United
States Armed Forces veterans, and participants of our Silver Saddles
program. We are limited to the number of students we can take due to
availability of volunteers and horses. There is a nominal fee to
participate; however, we will not turn anyone away due to financial
circumstances. Some scholarships may be available through generous
contributions by individuals and companies throughout Cochise County.
All students are required to get a physician's approval before riding.
Students are then evaluated by an instructor - in consultation with a
therapist when needed - for placement in the program.
The mission of CANTER is to promote the health and independence of individuals with disabilities or special needs using equine assisted activities in a safe and caring manner.
