A mom, a daughter with disabilities, a woman with a love for horses and a dream was the foundation of the Center for Adaptive Riding (CAR). In 2007, Barbara Chastain and Billie Beaty opened the center in their backyard in Northern Nevada. Thank you to the founding board members: Kim Borders, Sherry Sanders, Farah Jamaluddin and Leara Owens who played a major role in the creation of CAR. |

In 2015 CAR began to outgrow their home in Washoe Valley and ultimately moved to the beautiful Horseman's Park in old southwest Reno. At this new location, CAR became a PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) International Premier Accredited Center, which the center prides themselves on. |

Each year CAR continues to grow their number of riders in the adaptive horseback riding program.
In 2019, CAR began a partnership with Girl Scout troops to help scouts earn their horse badge. CAR also collaborates with Camp Care of Nevada, Skiing is Believing & the Reno Rodeo Special Kids Rodeo. Looking to the future, CAR sees ample opportunities to collaborate with many other organizations in the community, as well as continue to grow their number of riders in each program to continue to enrich lives through the power of the horse! |

After five years at Horseman’s Park, we outgrew the location and sought our new home. In March 2021, CAR moved to the beautiful and tranquil 7.5-acre ML Ranch in old Southwest Reno. This new home will allow CAR to grow and expand our services to meet the needs of our community.
