about spirithorse
SpiritHorse Riding Center of the San Francisco Bay Area is a 501(c)3 non-profit and was founded in January of 2012 by Charlotte Dougherty. This program is an all- inclusive riding program open to riders of all abilities. Our lessons, camps, and classes are designed to improve the lives of children and adults who are facing developmental, emotional, social, and physical challenges.
We are proud to be a licensed SpiritHorse International Center that strives to provide opportunities that help our community members build self-confidence and feel empowered! We operate 2 facilities, located in American Canyon and Napa California. Mostly run by volunteers; SpiritHorse is a safe place where everybody belongs. Our horses are the most valuable members of our team.
