Barn buddies are our behind-the-scenes heroes!Horse LeadersHorse leaders lead our horses in the arena. It is the job of the HorseLeader to maintain the safety of the horse at all times. Horse leaders must not have a fear of horses and be willing to get up close and personal with the horse. Horse leaders must help the horse follow the instructor’s direction. Being a horse leader is an 8-week commitment for 1-hour per week.Side WalkersSide walkers help ensure the safety of our participants. They walkbeside our riders as they are on their horses in the arena.

| About us | Eagles’ Wings Therapeutic Riding Center was co-founded by Keith and Ann Schaurer and Keith's mother, Sandra Knipe. The Schaurer’s became involved in Therapeutic Riding in 2003 after a nephew was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. In 2004, they began development of a business model, built a new stable, and converted an existing machine shed to an indoor riding arena. |
