Xenophon Therapeutic Riding Center is located in a beautiful rural setting in Orinda, CA, twenty miles from San Francisco. We offer life-changing experiences for children with a wide range of disabilities.

We provide therapeutic horseback riding in a safe and secure environment.
Our children achieve goals that they never before dreamed possible. We focus on enhancing their unique abilities. With a horse as their guide, there is no limit to what they can achieve.

Thank you to all the hot people who ignored the elements to come to our Open House. It was wonderful to see so many brave souls. It was the hottest day on record so far. Our talented students demonstrated their riding skills on our fabulous horses. The hot dogs were delicious and the lemonade hit the spot.
A good time was had by all!

Xenophon gets ready for its 17th season

Xenophon volunteers worked hard to clean, dust, weed, paint and generally get dirty to get the barn and environs clean.

Our board president, Chris Legallet, thanked the volunteers for all their work and encouraged them to find new ways of fund raising in this challenging year.

The next day we had 55 new volunteers at our training.

It's a great start to a new year.
