NDR Therapeutic Riding is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization. NDR provides equine-assisted activities for persons with all abilities ages 4 and up. Our mantra has been: “Not here by chance, but to serve a purpose." All of our programs are designed to serve a purpose for each participant. The foundation for all programs is that they are organic in nature and use experiential learning to help our participants set and achieve their personalized goals.

How We Got Started

NDR Therapeutic Riding is located at “No Drama Ranch” in Norco, CA. NDR Therapeutic Riding originated in 2010 when Peppermint Ridge, a large residential facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Corona, CA, asked the owners of No Drama Ranch, Joe and Donna Hyde, to develop a therapeutic adaptive riding program.

Realizing the huge need, the Hyde’s accepted the challenge. Donna Hyde became an instructor through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH). She is certified as both a PATH Instructor and in PATH Mental Health and Learning. Donna obtained additional certification through Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) for Equine-Assisted Activities. Donna has been providing therapeutic adaptive horsemanship and other equine-assisted activities ever since to “Ridge Riders” and other participants ages 4 and up!
