The Sunrise story
How we came to be
In 1980 Carol Inglis, Margaret Inglis, and Janice Edelman saw a need in Richmond, Indiana for equine therapy to assist individuals with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. The three became certified through the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association and began giving lessons to those in need.
Sunrise, Inc. continued to grow and was organized as a 510(c)(3) nonprofit organization based a short drive outside of Richmond. We now employ professional trainers who are certified under the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship – International (PATH). Our program consists of twelve horses and ponies that love interacting with people providing equine assisted activities.
Sunrise Today
Our home today looks much different through a fantastic partnership with Earlham College at the Suzanne Hoerner Jackson Equestrian Center! This state of the art equestrian center offers 25 stalls, a bright and beautiful indoor arena, outdoor riding spaces, indoor facilities such as office space, classroom space, wash stalls, and indoor restrooms. This space was truly an upgrade for our participants, horses, volunteers and staff. Sunrise is grateful for the partnership with Earlham College. We can't wait to show you around our new space!
