About the provider

Ivey Ranch Park Association has been operating since 1981. It enables people with and without disabilities to achieve a better quality of life through care, education, and equine assisted services. The organization is a PATH International-accredited center with dual PATH International and CHA accreditation, has also been named California Nonprofit of the Year in 2025, and works with families receiving Regional Center of San Diego services and other funding sources.

Most programs begin with an evaluation; openings are limited and fill up quickly; small groups are used to give every rider the attention they need; some programs are offered at no cost thanks to the Rhynard Family Foundation; no horse experience needed for Horses for Heroes.

What families say

“I just wanted to say how thankful I am for you organizing such an incredible camp. My girls have been having the most amazing time!! It feels so so nice to see their sweating and dirty little faces with huge grins after so many hours of camp each day. You all are such a blessing. Thank you!” — Elizabeth G.
