Autism spectrum · Therapeutic adaptive riding · Ventura County
Therapeutic adaptive riding, shaped around the rider.
Individualized riding instruction and horsemanship create room to explore equestrian skills, participation, confidence, and connection at an individual pace.
The experience
A thoughtful place to learn with horses.
Adaptive riding brings individualized riding instruction and horsemanship together in a structured, welcoming setting. Activities may include mounted exercises, riding patterns, horse handling, grooming, and progressive riding skills.
Each conversation begins with the person and what they hope to explore. Share riding experience, questions, and any context that will help EEF understand what information may be useful.
An autism-inclusive focus
Progress at the rider’s pace.
EEF specializes in therapeutic adaptive riding for children and young adults on the autism spectrum, within our broader horsemanship and Equine Assisted Learning programs. Instruction is led by Jasmine Ghent, CTRI (Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor) and certified Equine Assisted Healthcare Riding Instructor. Families may share questions about routines, communication, or sensory considerations so the team can discuss current activities and what may be a fit.
Each rider’s experience is individual. EEF centers respectful instruction, rider comfort and safety, and the horse’s well-being; no single checklist or clinical outcome is promised.
A clear next step
Start with a conversation.
Contact EEF to ask about adaptive riding and current program information. Families working with Tri-Counties Regional Center should discuss eligibility and service authorization with their service coordinator; EEF does not determine eligibility or guarantee funding.
