Austin Riding and Therapy Center is a hidden emerald jewel. Nestled on miles of mature woodland, meadows and wild flowers is a 1000 acre park, a green, peaceful oasis only minutes from downtown Austin.
The barn opens onto shady trails, undulating hills and canter lanes. Creek paths have mature Cyprus trees which add extra shade and cool during the summer. By the water are herons, in the wild sage gardens, we may ride through hundreds of butterflies and there are deer and the odd turkey hidden in the long grass. All a wonder to experience and enjoy.
Taking in this beauty on the back of a horse while being taught how to relax into your body becoming more present. The undulating movements of the horses makes it easier to hear the running waters and appreciate the birdsong.
Austin Riding and Therapy Center also enjoys shade and protection from all weather in the form of a 100m x 50m covered arena.
A vintage beautifully converted air stream serves as a cooling space for art therapy and video study.
The covered tack room is for changing into your safety kit and acts as a space to use the warm up equipment before your session.
