Start With These Steps
We keep the website clear and easy to navigate, but if you’re new here, start with three things: learn What THOR Is, explore our Programs, and visit Donate to see how a small gift changes a rider’s week. Families, caregivers, clinicians, and potential volunteers can also find practical details on scheduling, rider eligibility, and how to get involved.
What is THOR?
Therapeutic Horsemanship of Ridgecrest (THOR) is a local, community-based program using horses to help people build strength, balance, confidence, and connection. Our riders include children, teens, adults, and veterans, each working toward personal goals—standing a little taller, speaking a little clearer, taking a deeper breath, or simply feeling calm and seen. Sessions are safe, structured, and individualized, and everything we do is focused on measurable outcomes and a positive barn experience.
