The Saddle Light Center For Therapeutic Horsemanship

The Saddle Light Center For Therapeutic Horsemanship The Saddle Light Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation located in Selma, TX at Retama Equestrian Center.

We help to build the self-esteem and quality of life for special needs individuals within Bexar County and surrounding areas through equine-assisted activities. As a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (P.A.T.H.) organization, we provide therapeutic horseback riding and hippotherapy to individuals with special needs within the San Antonio area with the goal of contributing positiv

ely to their cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being as to inspire them to accomplish things previously considered beyond their capabilities. Since our founding in 1991, through the generosity of our Sponsors and Volunteer workforce, we have grown from a few horses to a program that now provides equine therapy to 60 plus riders each week with a team of 13 horses. Through this program, the Saddle Light Center is committed to improving the self-esteem and quality of life of the disabled population in the San Antonio area. Our mission is to provide equestrian therapy for children, teenagers, and adults with neurological, orthopedic, learning, emotional or other disabilities. Our goal is to inspire our riders to accomplishments previously considered beyond their capabilities.

🐴 Meet the Herd Monday: Magoo

Magoo (registered name Twin Magoos) joined The Saddle Light Center herd in 2024.

Born in 2005, this Quarter Horse mare was raised nearby at Northington Ranch in Boerne, Texas, making her a true local.

Magoo has experience in cow sorting, team penning, and roping, competing at places like Stonewall Sorting Club, Tejas Rodeo, and Northington Ranch.

Her owner, Beckie, still visits to ride her weekly. With her kind personality and smooth gait, Magoo has quickly become a wonderful addition to our therapy program.

And if you ask her owner, Beckie…
“Magoo will do everything in her power to get a treat.” 🍎🐴

💛 A special thank you to Beckie for sharing photos of Magoo from over the years—we love getting to see her journey!

✨ Follow along each Monday to meet the horses who make the magic happen at The Saddle Light Center.

Happy Sunday from The Saddle Light Center 💚🐴

💛🐴 UTSA Day of Service = SUCCESS! 🐴💛

We had an amazing group of volunteers from University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) come out and lend a helping hand!

✔ Cleaned water buckets & corner feeders
✔ Dusted and tidied stalls
✔ Sanitized and wiped down helmets

From start to finish, they jumped right in and made a huge impact around the barn. Your hard work keeps our barn safe and running strong 💛

We are so grateful for your time, energy, and heart for service—our horses and riders appreciate you more than you know!
