Riding Unlimited

Riding Unlimited is dedicated to enhancing the physical, educational, emotional and social aspects of the lives of our riders through therapeutic horsemanship and horse and cart driving.

Description:
Riding Unlimited is a premier NARHA therapeutic riding and driving center. We teach horsemanship to the disabled community as a form of therapy. We are the only NARHA accredited center in North Texas to offer a driving program for riders who either can not or do not want to get on a horse but could benefit from the many aspects of the program.

History:
Riding Unlimited was founded in 1990 by Jim Barton who currently resides in Krum, TX and participates in both the riding and driving programs. Jim has Cerebral Palsy and as a child dreamed of some day being able to ride a horse. We purchased 49 acres in Ponder, TX 8 years ago with a dream of providing riders with disabilites a safe place to learn horsemanship and have fun.
