1. I used to live in Ocala, do you mean where you could ride or volunteer? Because there are two one in Orange Lake( North of Ocala) and one in SE Ocala. I have experiance with both locations as I volunteered at one for 4 years and the other for a year. Can you clarify what you want to know about them? EDIT: The website for MTRA (Marion therapeutic riding association) is www.mtraocala.org The other is Stirrups n Strides www.stirrupsnstrides.com
2. get on www.narha.org it's the north american riding for the hadicapped association, they have a thing on the website that says find an approved center/trainer. i would start there. That would be ur best bet they are the US's organization for Therapeutic Riding. Most centers have a training session for volunteers and an age limit, and if you're looking to ride look for a NARHA approved center, they have really high safety standards and expect facilities to go above and beyond for horse and rider safety. Good Luck and have fun :~)
