Welcome To Bit-By-Bit Therapeutic Riding Center!

At Bit-By-Bit our goal is to help all of our special needs clients become as independent, strong, and confident as possible through the magic of therapeutic horseback riding!


crutches-horse2Our mission is to heal, educate, enrich, inspire and empower the lives of others in our community and nation through the gifts of the horse. We strive to provide professional and top-quality therapeutic services to the families of south Florida. 
At Bit-By-Bit, we fundraise to provide therapeutic services to special children and adults regardless of ability to pay. We offer therapeutic riding and hippotherapy services to families from Broward County, Palm Beach County, and Miami-Dade County.
At Bit-By-Bit, we create individualized treatment plans for each of our special clients. Each of these plans recognizes the client's specific burdens and develops short and long term goals that push each client to a higher level of health, strength, and well-being. Bit-By-Bit is a family-friendly, community supported organization which recognizes the healing power that horses share with all humans.
Bit-By-Bit Therapeutic Riding Center was created in 1998 and became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 2002. We are a proud PATH/ NARHA Accredited Therapeutic Riding Program and we are also an American Hippotherapy Association (AHA) Member Center.
