The History of Windridge
In 1989 Windridge opened its doors as the first therapeutic riding center in East Texas serving children and adults with disabilities through a unique form of therapy; therapeutic riding. Windridge is the only East Texas Center that is a Premier Accredited Center with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, (NARHA).

In 1997 Windridge purchased 23 acres adjoining its founded location, providing additional grazing land for the horses, more room to ride, and a place that in the future Windridge could build a permanent home. In May of 2001, construction began on a 38,000 square foot state of the art covered facility that would be Windridge’s home. This facility will allow classes to continue during inclement weather and provide adequate room for additional programs. In January of 2002, classes began in our covered facility, the first of its kind in Texas designed specifically for therapeutic horsemanship programs.

During the years that Windridge has been serving the community, several programs have been developed: therapeutic riding, therapeutic driving, hippotherapy, an adult volunteer program, education program, our veteran program Horses for Heroes and a teenage volunteer/mentoring program – Quest for Success.
