SunCatcher Therapeutic Riding Academy is ready to grow our herd!

Whether you want to donate, lease, short/long-term loan, or sell a horse, we NEED to add to our herd so we can serve the 100+ participants that benefit from working with a horse!

Usually the perfect horse for our program is 10 - 20 years old, requires no medications, is easy to catch and lead and loves people and the farrier.

Unless it's a mini, all horses must be gentle under saddle whether riding independently or on a lead line (90% of our sessions are all on lead line).

Ideally, within 2 hours of Rapid City, as we will come look at your horse before bringing into our herd.

Give us a call or send us a message if you have a horse that is ready to be a hero!!!

Here's to the next 25 years! 🎂🎉
