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.
