Buckboard Therapeutic Riding Academy

 

Welcome to Buckboard Therapeutic Riding Academy!

We're glad you've stopped by, and hope you will take a minute to find out why Buckboard is so important to our local communities in the Nebraska Panhandle.  Since 1998, Buckboard - Located in Gering, Nebraska - has been offering equine-assisted activities and pleasure horseback riding to disabled adults and children.  This program combines instruction in traditional horsemanship skills with the concepts of physical therapy.  We have assisted hundreds of disabled persons through our unique combination of therapy riding, riding instruction, and recreational riding. 

The program provides services tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual rider, regardless of age or disability.  Buckboard continues to empower individuals with the beauty of horses and is only able to do so by the generous support of its volunteers and donors!  Please follow the links to find out more about our program, how you can become a part of Buckboard, and if we might be able to help you!
