Therapeutic Riding Institute's Response
to the Coronavirus
Dear families, volunteers, supporters, and staff:

With the news about the coronavirus continuing to unfold, I know you're all worried about your own personal safety and that of your family members.

We are relying on the information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The World Health Organization & local/state government agencies to inform our decisions. Rest assured that we are taking the necessary precautions.

For Up To Date Info, Please Check the Ohio Department of Health's website by clicking here.

Here are the recommended procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19:

  • Staying home when you or your rider of family member is sick. If anyone has an elevated fever, we ask that you stay home until they have a normal temperature for over 24 hours without the use of medication. 

  • Frequently washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing noses. Help young children do the same. If hands are visibly dirty, use soap and water to clean hands.

  • If soap and water are not readily available, using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

  • Avoiding touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

  • Covering coughs or sneezes with a tissue, then throwing the tissue in the trash and cleaning hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer (if soap and water are not readily available).

  • Getting flu shots for anyone six months and older during the flu season. (CDC)



We've undertaken significant cleaning and disinfecting of common surfaces.  We have hand washing & sanitizer station. We will be disinfecting high traffic areas and heavily used items in lessons (helmets, toys, horse equipment) after every use.
