Our mission
To improve the lives of people with disabilities through horse-related programs.
Our Story
Two decades of believing in what's possible.
NDR Therapeutic Riding began in 2010 with 3 quiet horses named Mojo, Frosty and King, a borrowed arena, and 14 riders from Peppermint Ridge, a large residential facility in Corona, Ca. asked the owners of No Drama Ranch, Joe & Donna Hyde, to develop a therapeutic adaptive riding program for them. Today we serve more than 200 families a year across Southern California. But our mission hasn't changed.
