About This Business

Brady Therapeutic Riding is a charitable, nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that has been providing the highest quality of equine therapy for the last 35 years. Located in a private area on the grounds of the San Francisco Zoo, Brady offers daily sessions customized to the needs of its participants, including horsemanship, riding lessons, physical and social therapy, to Bay Area youths with physical, emotional, and developmental disabilities. The organization's mission is to bring strength and healing to children with special needs and the San Francisco community through the love and care of horses, while encouraging young people in compassion and leadership through volunteerism. With a team of dedicated volunteers, Brady provides a serene and low-stress environment for participants to engage in therapy, connect with horses, and build confidence, muscle strength, postural control, coordination, communication, trust, perspective, and social skills. As a nonprofit organization, Brady relies on donations to support its operations, including the care of its senior horses, Phoebe and Lola, who require ongoing veterinary care. With a current fundraising need of $5,000, Brady welcomes donations to help cover urgent veterinary costs and continue providing its life-changing services to the community. Through its programs and lessons, Brady has been helping individuals with special needs since 1987, and its commitment to providing a peaceful and natural environment for therapy and connection has made it a trusted and beloved organization in the Bay Area.
