Rainbow Riders - Therapeutic Riding Newfoundland and Labrador Inc.

Rainbow Riders - Therapeutic Riding Newfoundland and Labrador Inc. Through therapeutic riding, horses help physically and mentally challenged children, youth and adults achieve things that may seem impossible.

For over 30 years, Rainbow Riders has been delivering therapeutic horseback riding and equine-assisted activities for individuals with diverse physical, cognitive, and emotional needs. They help an autistic child make connections and improve communication skills. They lend a six-year-old child, confined since birth to a wheelchair, his legs to run through a field. Relying solely on donations and f

This work is only possible with the assistance of generous donations from members of the provincial community. Any contribution that you make will make a difference and will help us continue to provide our valuable program to children of our province who live with disabilities.

Today, our staff and participants proudly wore red in recognition of National Accessibility Week/ Red Shirt Day. ❤️

At Rainbow Riders, accessibility means creating opportunities for everyone to participate, connect, and thrive. We celebrate the strengths, contributions, and achievements of people of all abilities, and we remain committed to fostering an inclusive community where everyone belongs.

Thank you to our amazing participants, staff, volunteers, and supporters who help make accessibility and inclusion a reality every day.

We are using compete easy for our registration. Please note you will need to make an account as we are charging per class and you can edit your own classes at no fee until closing date.

Stabling requests and trailer parking requests must go through Madison ([email protected]), so please contact her regarding day/night stall availability! First consideration will be given to those travelling over 100km so it is not necessarily on a first come first serve basis.

There is an option to donate to Rainbow Riders on the show form but it is not required.

Please also note that a persons responsible NLEA number will be required. If a junior that is expected to be a parent or coach.

If you have any questions at all, please let us know! We are so excited to see you all. Rainbow Riders participants, please wait to submit an entry until communicating with Erin or Kyra!

Entries will remain open until June 19th. Late registration will be open until June 21st with a $100 late fee.
