The Riding Centre is a program supported by Rotary under our Services to People with Disabilities program. The Riding Centre Association is a nonprofit organization that provides a foundation in safe riding and the care and management of horses through affordable lessons to children and adults of diverse capabilities from Yellow Springs, Ohio and surrounding communities. People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds benefit from day camps, group and private lessons, and our therapeutic riding program.

The Riding Centre was in 1959 to serve as an educational nonprofit dedicated to teaching the love, care, and understanding of horses. In 1989, Carolyn Bailey became the director of the Riding Centre. Carolyn began taking riding lessons at the Riding Centre at the age of 8. She began teaching lessons at the age of 15 and later enrolled in The Cheff Center for the Handicapped where she received her certification to teach riding to the mentally, emotionally, and physically challenged.
