Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education Center

Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education Center is a Loudoun County non-profit that is dedicated to changing lives through partnerships with horses. 

Sprout exists to serve individuals with physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs. We work for people who need support to walk, talk, learn, and connect with others. We believe that all people should have access to a robust life filled with love, opportunities, and dignity. We choose to use our energy and our talents to better the lives of others. 

In a community where limitations and restrictions abound, we are the POSSABILITARIANS! 

Sprout is dedicated to serving individuals with special needs, currently ranging in age from 18 months to over 80 years of age (although there is no upper limit). Our students come to us with a wide variety of diagnoses and live in the greater Northern Virginia area. 

Some of the most common diagnoses that Sprout serves are: ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delays, Down Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Emotional Disabilities, Sensory Processing Disorders, and Traumatic Brain Injuries.

At Sprout, we have an equal passion for our horses and our people. Our horses are the embodiment of hope, the fulfillment of dreams, and the opportunity for freedom in an otherwise confined world of disability. Our horses are the greatest mediators between where people are and where they want to go. They have a unique gift to transform despair into joy, confinement into ability, and isolation into community. Our horses bond with people in ways that change their lives forever.
