About Hope Haven Therapeutic Riding Centre
Hope Haven is a non-profit therapeutic riding centre located on 142 scenic acres next to the Beaver Valley, just two hours north of Toronto. We provide equine-assisted services for individuals of all ages with disabilities or unique needs. We build self-esteem, confidence, and lifetime skills through equestrian sports, recreation, and therapeutic programs.
Meet the Herd Partners in Healing
Our horses are more than companions; they’re partners in growth, healing, and learning. Each horse is carefully chosen for their gentle nature and ability to connect with our participants.
Programs Adaptive Teaching Techniques
Our CanTRA, PATH Intl. and Equestrian Canada certified instructors use adaptive teaching techniques and/or equipment to help individuals of all ages with disabilities or unique needs learn the skills of equestrian and horsemanship. We also offer summer and March break camps, full-day adult programming, a fully funded school program, and therapy programs.
