Welcome to Four Seasons Therapeutic Riding Academy

We hope that you are as excited as we are to be a local resource for many people in the Central Valley and Northern California. FSTRA specializes in helping individuals of all ages who have disabilities benefit from equine assisted activities and therapies. FSTRA allows children and adults to find strength and great independence, along with many other benefits, through being one with the horse in a safe and nurturing environment.

FSTRA provides our clients with an exceptional experience in a ranch setting. FSTRA builds knowledge, self confidence and inspires adults and children to accomplish more than they dreamed possible while helping to improve their quality of life. No family will be turned away due to financial reasons. Our volunteers are trained in CPR and are here because of their interest in horses and helping people. Our instructors are certified by PATH . This nationally recognized association provides a level of certification for instructors and promote safe and effective therapeutic horseback riding throughout the US and Canada.

Once you have seen your loved one experience the joy of petting, feeding or riding a horse, you will be hooked for life. You are welcomed to take pictures of your loved ones. Our Executive Director also doubles as our photographer.  Set up an appointment with her for some "country" photos.

Four Seasons Therapeutic Riding Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by David Colli and Dave Townsend, two men who have various life experiences, but have a common dream of helping individuals of all ages with disabilities benefit from Equine Therapy and assisted activities. Their dream is coming to life here at Four Seasons Therapeutic Riding Academy.

We depend on the generosity of our volunteers and supporters and if you are interested there are many rewarding ways you can support our life-changing work!
